Dear School Business Professionals,
Attached is CalSTRS Directive 2020-06 – Changes to the Definition of “Leave of Absence” (Assembly Bill 2101)
AB 2101 amends Education Code section 22144.3 to remove the requirement that a leave of absence be “expressly authorized” by specific sections of the Education Code, effectively reverting back to the statute as it read prior to January 1, 2016, in regard to other employer-approved leave. Consequently, this change allows remuneration that is paid for any employer-approved compensated leave of absence to be creditable to CalSTRS.
If you have any questions regarding this employer directive, please contact EmployerHelp@CalSTRS.com<mailto:EmployerHelp@CalSTRS.com> .
Regards,
