Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM)

Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM) apply to all Managers and Supervisors (MSP) and Professional and Support Staff (PSS). They include policies and procedures pertaining to the employment relationship between an MSP or PSS employee and the University of California.

The Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM) are systemwide or Universitywide policies -- they apply on all campuses. However, many of these policies have implementing procedures, specific to the Berkeley campus.

Each systemwide policy should be read in conjunction with the corresponding Berkeley implementing procedure.

If you have any questions about whether you are covered by PPSM or by a labor contract, please see your hiring manager.
