UC DAVIS: Office of the Chancellor

October 28, 2002

DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND CAMPUS/UCDMC ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS

RE: Holiday Office Closures and Union Notice

This year the seasonal administrative holidays fall on Tuesday and 
Wednesday, December 24 and 25, and Tuesday and Wednesday, December 31 and 
January 1.  Winter Quarter begins on Thursday, January 2, 2003.

As in previous years, unit heads who wish to close their offices or reduce 
office hours on days surrounding the holiday dates may do so, with the 
approval of their dean or vice chancellor.

If a unit is closed, employees may use accrued vacation and compensatory 
time off, or leave without pay.  Personnel policy and collective bargaining 
agreements also provide that a unit head may grant an exception to permit 
employees (including probationary employees) to use vacation leave prior to 
the time it is accrued.  There is a limit of three vacation days that may 
be used.  If an employee does not want to use vacation, compensatory time 
off, or leave without pay, units may permit the employee to work during the 
closure.

Human Resources has sent its initial notice of possible temporary holiday 
closures to the labor unions.  Further union notice is necessary to provide 
the unions with a list of those departments that will be closed to the 
general public and campus population in situations when department 
employees are not allowed the option to work.  To facilitate the final 
notice to the employee organizations, please contact Karen Ellsworth, 
Collective Bargaining Coordinator, no later than Friday, November 8, 2002, 
with information as to your department's temporary holiday curtailment 
schedule and restrictions of staffing/scheduling.  Contact Karen Ellsworth 
at 530-752-6664 or kaellsworth@ucdavis.edu with your concerns or for 
further clarification.

If your office does NOT want mail delivery on any of the working days 
during the holiday season, please notify Ernie Lucero, Mail Division, 
enlucero@ucdavis.edu (campus) or Terry Chase, tmchase@ucdavis.edu (UCDHS).
