SUBJECT:

Holiday Schedule December 19, 1994 through January 2, 1995

Administrative holidays this year will be Friday, December 23, Monday,
December 26, Friday, December 30, and Monday, January 2. Thus, there
will be a fifteen-day period (December 19 through January 2) during
which seven days (December 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29) are
scheduled working days.

Individual units and departments that wish to be closed from the end
of the working day on December 16, 1993 until the beginning of the
working day on January 3, 1994 may request approval to do so.
Department heads' requests to close must be submitted to the cognizant
Vice Chancellor/Director for prior approval. Department heads are
encouraged to discuss the feasibility of a fifteen-day closing with
departmental personnel. The following guidelines should be considered
in determining whether to close an office:

1. Departments must maintain adequate staffing levels in order to
  conduct necessary business or provide necessary services.

2. December 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29 are scheduled working days.
  If the department wishes to be closed during those days, staff
  employees must charge the time off to accrued vacation, accrued
  compensatory time off, or voluntary leave without pay. Academic
  employees on fiscal year (11-month) appointments must charge the
  time off to accrued vacation or voluntary leave without pay.

Requests should state (a) the disposition of work and services which
would normally be performed and (b) the arrangements which have been
agreed to by departmental employees.

Questions pertaining to the status of employees during a proposed
departmental closing should be directed to the appropriate Employee
Relations Specialist in the Human Resources Department or to the Academic
Personnel Office.
