Sharing, Jennifer SENT ON BEHALF OF REINALDA MEDINA, ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT The University will implement the four-day summer work week during the period of Monday, June 20, 2016 through Friday, August 5, 2016. The Independence Day Holiday will be celebrated on Monday, July 4, 2016 and during that week the staff will work regular seven hour days on Tuesday, Wednesday and 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. The 35-hour work week will be consolidated into four days, Monday through Thursday. Staff members may follow one of the work schedules listed below. For individuals selecting the long work day, any day of annual or sick leave used during this period will be charged as 1 day and 1 ¾ hours. Individuals wishing to work their regular hours may continue to so, but will be charged 1 day of annual leave on each of the six Fridays. LONG WORK DAY: 8:15AM - 5:30PM WITH A 30 MINUTE LUNCH PERIOD SHORT WORK DAY: 9AM - 5PM 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 for an employee it should be discussed with me to determine whether an accommodation is possible. Employees are required to complete the attached summer four-day work week option form and return it to the Office of Human Resources, to the attention of the: Compensation and Benefits Unit-Kiely Hall Room 151 by June 3, 2016.
