In
addition, the University will be closed
on January 2 and Memorial Day (May 25th).
Since these additional holidays are over
and above the 12 allotted by the USG,
staff and administration have the following
options:
1. Use eight hours
of annual leave for January 2 and/or Memorial
Day.
2. Work an additional eight hours during
the remainder of the Memorial Day
week, (four ten hour days). Your supervisor
must approve this option.
3. Take the day off without pay. Those
requesting leave without pay must send
a memo to Human Resources indicating that
the absence will be leave without pay.
The memo must be approved by the immediate
supervisor and Human Resources. The
memo must be received by Human Resources
no later than the monthly maintenance
deadline (January 9th and May 14th).
Since there will be
no classes on January 2 or Memorial Day,
10-month faculty will not be required
to take leave or make up hours.
The University
administration recognizes the importance
of the Memorial Day holiday; we encourage
you to use this time to recognize the
supreme sacrifice that has been made by
members of the armed forces on our behalf.

Any departments
requiring employees' presence on any of these scheduled
holidays (due to registration, etc.) should arrange for
a substitute day(s) for the employee(s) within that month,
approved by the supervisor. It should be noted that the
Memorial Day holiday has been moved to the Christmas
holidays. Anyone wishing to be off on Memorial Day must
take a vacation day.
