Dear Administrative & Staff Colleagues,
Recent discussions concerning our traditional half day Friday closures during the summer have resulted in a substantive change. Starting May 12th and ending on August 14th all offices will remain open five days each week (Monday thru Friday, 7:30 am – 5:00 pm). Flexibility is the key in keeping our doors open to accommodate the students, their families and the general public. Therefore, though all offices will remain open all day during the work week, each employee will actually work four weekdays during these summer dates. To accommodate this schedule departments will split their personnel, some working on Friday’s and others working on Monday’s. Each department head will have full control over who works on which days, there are no set rules. Subsequently, all employees will have a 3 day weekend. The work hours each day will be 7:30 am - 5:00 pm, with a thirty minute lunch. The thirty minute lunch break can be taken anytime during the day.
Summary: Administrative and staff employees must work at least 36 hours per week.
The new schedule will allow 14 days off between May 12th and August 14th.
Employees can only take a thirty minute lunch.
Vacations can be scheduled alongside any of the 14 days, as long as you have full approval from your supervisor and V.P.
Dress for the summer period is business casual, with Friday’s designated as Spirit Day.
I believe you will find this schedule more appealing and will allow you to spend more quality time with your families during the summer. I wish you all good health and happiness during the summer.
