UC DAVIS: OFFICES OF THE CHANCELLOR AND PROVOST November 7, 2005 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: Holiday Office Closures and Union Notice This year, the seasonal administrative holidays fall on Friday and Monday, December 23 and 26, and Thursday and Friday, December 29 and 30. Winter quarter begins on Tuesday, January 3, 2006. 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. Departments 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. 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. 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 issued a call to campus units seeking information on planned temporary holiday business closures for the purpose of noticing 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. Please note: Business closure means that no one will be allowed to work and all employees will be required to use vacation, compensatory time off, or leave without pay. If you have not already done so, please contact Christine Wolle, Collective Bargaining Coordinator, with information as to your department's temporary holiday curtailment schedule and restrictions of staffing/scheduling. Contact Christine Wolle at 530-752-6664 or cewolle@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 the Mail Division: Denise Woolcott, dlwoolcott@ucdavis.edu (Davis campus), or Tom Casebeer, stcasebeer@ucdavis.edu (UCDHS). Leslye J. Hays Executive Officer 05-120
