In addition, the University will be closed on January 2nd, Memorial Day (May 25th) and December 21st. These three days are over and above the 12 allotted by the State; therefore, staff and administration have the following options:
1. Hourly and Monthly staff may use eight hours of annual leave.
2. Hourly staff have the option of using any accrued comp time
3. Hourly and Monthly staff may work an additional eight hours during the remainder of the Memorial Day week, (four ten hour days). This option applies to Memorial Day only.
4. Hourly and Monthly staff may take the day off without pay. This information must be entered in your ADP time record.
• Since there will be no classes on January 2nd, Memorial Day, or December 21, 10 month faculty will not be required to take leave or make up hours.
• Your supervisor must approve option three for Memorial Day.
