SUBJECT:

Holiday Schedule December 23, 1995 through January 2, 1996

Administrative holidays this year will be Monday, December 25; Tuesday,
December 26; Monday, January 1; and Tuesday, January 2. Thus, there
will be an eleven-day period (December 23 through January 2) during
which three days (December 27, 28 and 29) are scheduled working days.

Individual units and departments that wish to be closed from the end
of the work day on December 22, 1995 until the beginning of the work
day on January 3, 1996 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 seven-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 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.
