In celebration of the 2015 holiday season, the Governor has authorized a half-day informal time off on Thursday, December 24. President Rossbacher has also approved an additional half-day of administrative leave that day, and many campus offices will not be operational for the entire day. This informal time off is subject to the following provisions:

Monthly Rate Employees:
Full-time exempt and non-exempt employees may be allowed a full day informal time off with pay on December 24 if the employee is scheduled to work. Less than full-time employees are provided the informal time off on a pro-rata basis.

Employees who are required to work on December 24, or who would be scheduled to work but are on vacation, sick leave, or CTO, may be granted the equivalent informal time off prior to June 30, 2016. This time shall not be considered CTO and is not compensable in cash.

Hourly Employees:
Hourly employees other than Student Assistants and Work Study students are permitted the informal time off based on the following table provided that the employee is scheduled to work on December 24 and is still on the active payroll on that date (i.e. has not or will not be separated with a prior effective date):

* Exclusive of Holiday Hours not actually worked

Scheduling of informal time off should be managed in such a way as to minimize disruption to campus operations.
