<Title>Legacy Phone System Maintenance on Jan. 9 and 10</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>From 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, January 9 and Wednesday, January 10, DoIT will conduct maintenance on our legacy (Siemens Rolm) phone system. </span></p>
    <br><p><span>UMBC Police and other emergency phone services around campus, as well as users who've transitioned to the new phone system, should see no impact in service.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>This will only affect community members with the older, beige desk phones that are still receiving service from the legacy phone system. This planned maintenance window is to make engineering changes to prepare for the last stages of migration from this phone system and ensure we can smoothly transition the remaining services. </span></p>

<Title>Facilities Precautions for Winter Break</Title>
<Tagline>Help reduce the risk of damage to buildings</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Dear Colleagues, </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>With the return of cold weather and the arrival of a winter break for many at UMBC, we in Facilities Management would like to ask for your help in mitigating the risk of facilities damage. Please take the steps below to help keep buildings operating efficiently and their interiors free from damage caused by water, wind, or cold. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Close and lock all exterior windows. If a window does not function properly, please submit a <a href="https://fm.umbc.edu/work-request/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">work order request with Facilities Management</a> so that it may be repaired. </li>
    <li>Close and make sure all exterior doors latch shut. It is unsafe to leave exterior doors open for any length of time. If an exterior door does not function properly, please submit a work order request to have it repaired. </li>
    <li>Please use work order requests to report any unusual conditions, such as stained ceiling tiles or other signs of water damage, unusual odors, or unusual mechanical noises from within the ceilings or walls. A small issue now could become a much larger one over the break if not addressed. </li>
    </ul></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Thank you for your attention to these simple but important proactive steps. Your help is greatly appreciated. </div>
    <div><br></div>

<Title>December 22 Administrative Leave Day</Title>
<Tagline>Enjoy Winter Break!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Dear Colleagues, </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>As we celebrated our annual service awards last week, one of the messages we hope you heard is that "You Matter." It is important to us that you know you are valued and we appreciate you.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>To that end, we will observe Friday, December 22, as an Administrative Leave day. This will extend our winter break, with the campus reopening on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. Timesheets for eligible Regular and Contingent II employees will be automatically coded with the administrative leave code (ADM). </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please check with your supervisor to see if you are required to maintain essential services during this time. All collective bargaining employees required to work on this day will be paid in accordance with their collective bargaining agreements. Other employees who are required for essential services may use this Administrative Leave day on another day prior to March 31, 2024. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We would like to thank all of you for your commitment to the university and our students. We hope you enjoy a restful and joyful winter break!</div>
    <div><br></div>
