UC DAVIS: OFFICE OF THE VICE CHANCELLOR--ADMINISTRATION November 19, 2004 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND CAMPUS/UCDMC ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: Holiday Office Closures and Bonus Leave This year the seasonal administrative holidays fall on Friday and Monday, December 24 and 27, and Thursday and Friday, December 30 and 31. Winter Quarter begins on Monday, January 3, 2004. 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. Units that are approved to close for the holidays are encouraged to provide alternative means to address urgent business matters that may arise during the holiday closure. Examples of measures may include signage and voicemail greetings describing contact information for those with urgent business needs. This year, the University is providing a two-day paid bonus leave on December 28-29 to employees covered by staff personnel policy. The University and the unions are currently negotiating an extension of this program to represented employees. If you decide to close a unit, employees who are covered by personnel policy or a union contract that includes a bonus leave agreement must use the bonus leave on December 28 and 29. Employees who are not covered by the bonus leave program are covered by the "curtailment" provisions of the applicable personnel policy or union contract; i.e., they may use accrued vacation, compensatory time off, or leave without pay. Employees (including probationary employees) who do not have enough accrued leave may use up to 3 days of vacation leave prior to the time it is accrued. You may determine based on business needs that some of the employees eligible for bonus leave are required to work on December 28-29. The deans and vice chancellors have the delegated authority to approve alternate bonus leave between December 1, 2004, and January 30, 2005, days for these employees. More information on the Bonus Leave program is available on the Web at http://www.hr.ucdavis.edu/Policy/Bonus. A "Question & Answer" document on bonus leave is being developed and will be posted on the site shortly. If your office does NOT want mail delivery on any of the working days during the holiday season, please notify the Mail Division: Denise Woolcott, dlwoolcott@ucdavis.edu (campus), or Tom Casebeer, stcasebeer@ucdavis.edu (UCDHS).
