Winter Closure

PLEASE NOTE: The information below applies to employees in the School of Humanities and Sciences. Please consult your local HR for more information regarding winter closure policies in your School/Unit.

The additional days off with pay may be taken on any typical workday during the close period, not an employee's regularly scheduled day off or a designated holiday.  For the other regular workdays during winter close that are not designated by the University as holidays or paid days off, we recommend employees use the following options to cover closure dates:

• Floating Holiday or Available Personal Time Off (PTO) for 2022 or Accrued Vacation Time
• Time off borrowed from 2023 PTO accrual (24 hours per calendar year, which is prorated for part-time employees)
• Time off borrowed from 2023 Floating Holiday accrual (8 hours per calendar year, which is prorated for part-time employees)
• Time off borrowed from December 2022 vacation accrual, which is normally not available for use until 1/1/23 (up to one month’s accrual is permitted)
• Leave without Pay 

OPERATIONS THAT ARE UNABLE TO FULLY CLOSE

As a reminder, areas that do not fully close during the closure do not receive the three additional days with pay. Areas that are fully closed should be closed, and temporary, casual and student employees should not be working during this time.
