| Campus Catastrophic Leave Program: | Catastrophic leave is available for employees already on an approved leave of absence (including those impacted by the fires) who have exhausted their accruals. Please note that UCLA Health employees seeking catastrophic leave for suffering a loss due to the current fires do *not* have to exhaust sick accruals before applying for catastrophic leave (all other accruals must be exhausted).
