Dear colleagues:

As we enter a season when our focus turns to gratitude and helping others, I want to express my deep appreciation to all members of the Humboldt State community for the many ways in which you support student success and make HSU such an extraordinary place.

Many members of our University community may be traveling later today, potentially in some challenging travel conditions, and thus I am authorizing staff to leave three hours prior to the end of their work day today.  To assure that necessary work is completed, appropriate administrators must approve this paid informal time off.  There is no need for employees to record this time off in PeopleSoft, unless they have scheduled vacation today.

Employees scheduled for vacation today will record eight hours of vacation taken in PeopleSoft, and then unofficially take off three hours at a later date.

Employees who work their full shift today will be allowed three hours of informal (not recorded in PeopleSoft) time to be taken prior to June 30, 2019, with the approval of their appropriate administrator.

Thank you all for your contributions to our various communities – on campus and beyond.  Please have a safe and restful fall break!

With best wishes,

Lisa A. Rossbacher, Ph.D.
President
