For CUHK staff
The University has formalized the provision of time release for community service. Starting 1 November 2024, full-time staff members will be eligible for up to 15 hours of time release per academic year (from 1 August in a year to the following 31 July) to engage in community service activities.
This decision follows a successful initial run during CUHK’s 60th anniversary. The formalization of time release provision underscores CUHK’s commitment to University Social Responsibility (USR).
Administrative Guidelines:
To ensure smooth implementation, the provision is subject to specific administrative guidelines. These guidelines are now included in the online Staff Handbook under the section “Leave to Perform Public Duties and Time Release for Community Service.”
For more details, please refer to the Human Resources Circular No. 04/2024 and the Staff Handbook chapter retitled as “Leave to Perform Public Duties and Time Release for Community Service”.
We encourage all eligible staff to sign the CU60303 community service pledge, take advantage of this opportunity to contribute to our community, and uphold the spirit of service that defines CUHK.
