Holiday Shutdown/Time Recording

December 25, 2018, and January 1, 2019, are national holidays. Eligible non-exempt (hourly) employees who are required to work on December 25 and January 1 will be paid for the hours worked plus an additional ½ time for working on the holiday for a total of 1 ½ times their hourly pay rate.

December 24, 26, 27, 28, and 31 of 2018 are university holidays. Non-exempt (hourly) employees who are required to work on any of these days must record that time as hours worked on their time sheet. Non-exempt employees will be paid at their regular hourly rate for work performed on December 24, 26, 27, 28, and 31. Non-exempt and exempt employees who work December 24, 26, 27, 28, and 31 may take a floating holiday for each day worked with the approval of their supervisor, provided that the floating holiday is used by January 31, 2019. Floating holidays issued for this purpose that are not taken by January 31, 2019, will be forfeited. There will be no exceptions.

As a reminder, non-exempt employees must record all hours worked on their time sheet; any hours worked over 40 in the work week will be compensated at 1 ½ times the employee’s regular hourly rate.

Any employee who works pursuant to a Collective Bargaining Agreement will be paid according to the terms of the agreement.
