Dear Colleagues,
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.
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).
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.
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!
Sincerely,
President Valerie Sheares Ashby
Vice President for Administration and Finance Kathy L. Dettloff
