Holiday Informal Time Off

The University received notice that, consistent with the Governor’s policy, CSU employees will receive a half day of informal time off during the holiday season.  The informal time off is subject to the following  provisions:

 

Monthly Rate / Salaried Employees

Full time exempt and nonexempt employees on payroll status may be allowed a half day informal time off with pay on the last campus work day before the Christmas holiday Monday, December 24.  Part-time employees should be provided time off on a pro-rata basis.

 

Hourly Employees

Hourly employees other than those in Class Codes 1150, 1151, 1868, 1870, 1871, 1872, 1874, 1875, 1876 (Work Study/Student Assistants), 7171 (Notetaker), 7172 (Reader), and 7930 should be permitted informal time off based on the following table, provided that the employee is scheduled to work on the campus’ last work day prior to the holiday closure and is still on the active payroll on that date (has not or will not be separated with a prior effective date):

 

Hours Scheduled in December Pay Period:

1 - 43 receive 1 hour off

44 - 87 receive 2 hours off

88 or more receive 4 hours off

 

Employees who may be required to work or who would be scheduled to work but are on vacation, sick leave, or CTO may be granted the equivalent informal time off prior to June 30, 2013.  This time is not considered CTO and is not compensable in cash.

 

Employees who have not used their Personal Holiday for calendar year 2012 must use it during the December 2012 pay period (no later than 12/31/12), since the Personal Holiday cannot be carried over to the next calendar year.  The Personal Holiday must be used in whole day increments.  Employees are reminded that new Personal Holidays are credited to employees each year on January 1st for use during that calendar year.
