[pps-news] FW: [Staff] 2007-08 Winter Holiday Closure

To:  All Departments

 

On September 28, 2007, Human Resources sent the 2007-08 Winter Holiday
closing email to you (see below).  Please remember to follow the
instructions below when processing your time records for December
earnings paid January 1, 2008.

 

Several University holidays will be observed while the campus is closed,
including December 24, 25, and 31, and January 1, 2008. However,
December 26, 27, and 28 are not paid holidays. Staff employees and those
academic employees who accrue vacation leave will need to use either
vacation, compensatory time (if available) or leave without pay to
compensate for these three work days.

Employees who do not wish to use vacation or compensatory time off may
request leave without pay for the three working days (12/26, 12/27,
12/28) based on departmental approval.  This action may cause the
employee not to accrue the maximum vacation and sick leave for the
month.  However, the Curtailment Leave policy
<http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/employees/policies_employee_labor_relatio
ns/personnel_policies/spp43.html>   43.G., entitles the employee to get
full leave accruals for the three days.  In order to fix this problem, a
manual adjustment needs to be done via LX/RX process using VLA/SLA DOS
codes.   If you need assistance, please contact:

            Terri Barrett (terri.barrett at ucr.edu) for staff

            Elena Mateos (Elena.mateos at ucr.edu) for academics or

            Veronique Moser (veronique.moser at ucr.edu) for limited 

 

Thank you,

Roberta Nardico

Re: 2007-08 Winter Holiday Closure 

As in previous years, UCR plans to observe a Winter Holiday Closure
during the 2007-08 holiday season. The campus is scheduled to close
starting Saturday, December 22, 2007, through Tuesday, January 1, 2008,
and will reopen on Wednesday, January 2, 2008. The annual closure has
allowed UCR to achieve significant energy savings and continues to be a
highly effective approach to power conservation for a specific period of
time.

Several University holidays will be observed while the campus is closed,
including December 24, 25, and 31, and January 1, 2008. However,
December 26, 27, and 28 are not paid holidays. Staff employees and those
academic employees who accrue vacation leave will need to use either
vacation, compensatory time (if available) or leave without pay to
compensate for these three work days.

Consistent with last year's approach, and in accordance with University
personnel policies and applicable labor agreements, employees have the
choice of the following options to cover the non-paid holidays:

*	Employees may utilize vacation days in advance of their actual
accrual. 
*	Newly hired employees, represented and policy-covered, may
utilize their vacation accruals without having six 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 for the three working days based on
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 respective supervisors in advance as to which option
or combination of options they propose to use.

Forthcoming announcements will be provided detailing information on
changes to mail services and library hours closer to the designated
2007-08 Winter Holiday dates.

closure may be forwarded to Laurie Webb in Human Resources at extension
