[Bpspis] Fwd: [Ucrfacultyandstaff] UCR 2022-2023 Winter Holiday Closure

[Bpschair]

Hi everyone,
just a reminder that the campus will be closed for the winter holidays beginning Friday Dec 23 through Monday Jan 2.  As in past years, the closure will include 4 paid holidays and 3 curtailment days.

Faculty who have 11-month appointments will need to claim vacation for the curtailment days (12/27, 12/28, and 12/29). Many of you are at your max vacation accrual and aren’t accruing additional vacation anyway.  Please don’t argue that you will be working anyway.  We will all likely be working, but additional vacation accrual is a cost to the department, so please claim vacation for those days.

All staff who submit a time sheet will also need to take vacation on those days. If you have employees who must work on those days (watering plants, essential experiments) you can authorize them to work and not use vacation. These individuals should be fairly rare, but this approval is at the discretion of the supervisor.

Thanks, patty

Campus Reopens


Four University-paid holidays (December 23, 26, 30 and January 2) will be observed while the campus is closed. However, three days (December 27, 28, 29) are considered curtailment leave days and are not paid holidays. Employees have the choice of the following options to cover the non-paid days during the holiday closure period


  *   Employees may use vacation days in advance of their actual accrual.
  *   Newly hired employees, represented and policy-covered, may use their vacation accruals before completing six (6) continuous months on pay status.
  *   Employees with accrued compensatory time may elect to use it to cover the three days off or to offset the use of vacation time.
  *   Employees who do not wish to use vacation or compensatory time off may request leave without pay, pending departmental approval. In this case, employees will not lose hourly vacation or sick leave accruals for these three days.

In accordance with regular procedures for scheduling vacation, employees should notify their supervisors in advance as to which option or combination of options they choose to use.

For represented employees, closure days will be processed in accordance with existing contract provisions and are subject to discussion and/or collective bargaining where applicable.

As in previous years, certain essential services will not be closed during this time period. Employees who might be expected to work should check with their supervisors for confirmation.

Researcher access to critical research facilities will continue and select research facilities requiring access will continue to be maintained by Facilities Services. In addition, grading deadlines will remain unchanged.

Comments or questions regarding application of collective bargaining agreements may be sent to Labor Relations at labor.relations at ucr.edu<mailto:ailto:labor.relations at ucr.edu>.
