PAID PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TIME FOR MANAGEMENT AND CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES

Confidential and Management employees may be allowed up to three hours per week of paid professional development time to participate in job/career related activities. Typically, such activities would include course work at an accredited institution of higher education, in College of the Redwoods sponsored in-service education, in professional organization-related staff development activities, etc.

Approval for such activities shall be provided in writing by the employee's supervisor and one area administrator at the dean level or above (not required if the supervisor is at the dean level or above.) Approval shall be filed with the Dean of Administrative Services. It is understood that when the college's work cannot be done without the employee and/or if in the opinion of the supervisor the proposed activity does not relate to the employee's work, staff development time will not be granted.
