SENT ON BEHALF OF LEE KELLY, ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT The University will implement the four-day summer work week during the period of Monday, June 21st through Friday, August 13th excluding the workweek that includes Independence Day. The Independence Day Holiday will be celebrated on Monday, July 5th, 2021, and during that week, the staff will work regular seven-hour days on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. As has been the practice in the past, the Building and Grounds staff, including custodial and skilled trades staff members, and the Public Safety staff will follow their regular five-day work schedules during the summer. Staff members may follow one of the work schedules listed below. For individuals selecting the long work day, the 35-hour work week will be consolidated into four days, Monday through Thursday. Any annual or sick leave days used during this period will be charged as 1 day and 1 ¾ hours. Individuals wishing to work their regular hours may continue to do so, and will be charged 1 day of annual leave on each of the six Fridays. LONG WORK DAY: 8:15 A.M. – 5:30 P.M. WITH A 30 MINUTE LUNCH PERIOD SHORT WORK DAY: 9:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. WITH A ONE HOUR LUNCH PERIOD FRIDAYS WILL BE CHARGED TO ANNUAL LEAVE Any deviation from these schedules will require the prior approval of the staff member’s immediate supervisor and the Office of Human Resources. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that employees adhere to the hours of the altered schedule. If working a four-day schedule creates a hardship, the employee should discuss the matter with Human Resources to determine whether an accommodation is possible. Employees are required to complete the attached summer four-day work week option form and email it back ohr.payroll@qc.cuny.edu<mailto:ohr.payroll@qc.cuny.edu> no later than June 4,2021.
