Effective January 2023, Pay for Family Care & Bonding (PFCB) is a pay option for eligible UC employees to receive 100% of their eligible earnings for up to 8 workweeks per calendar year. PFCB is available for Family and Medical Leaves (FML) taken for the purpose of caring for a family member with a serious health condition, bonding with a new child, Military Caregiver Leave, and Qualifying Exigency Leave.
Must be taken in a block of one workweek or more.
Employees must continue to use PFCB once started until the leave block ends or PFCB is exhausted.
Any remaining PFCB is available to use for another qualifying FML block leave later in the calendar year.
PFCB cannot be combined with accrued leave or other pay options to receive more than 100% of salary.
