Reporting Administrative Leave

To be paid for the University closure, USPS, A&P, Executive Service (AEX), and Faculty employees should be in pay status (either working or on approved leave) for at least a portion of the scheduled workday on September 28, 2022.

• Full-time employees receive 8 hours of Administrative Leave for the closure. Part-time employees receive a proportionate number of leave hours for the closure based on their FTE.
  • Example – While a 1.0 FTE employee gets 8 hours of paid Administrative Leave, a 0.75 FTE employee would get 6 hours of Administrative Leave.

Employees designated as Essential Personnel

Employees designated by their Dean, Director, Department Head, or designee as Essential Critical Personnel or Medium Priority Personnel should report the correct hours worked during the closure. The compensation of Essential Personnel is contingent upon an employee’s FLSA classification, pay band, and essential personnel designation level as outlined in the Essential Personnel Classification & Compensation policy. Reports of Essential Critical Personnel should be sent to HR no later than 72 hours after University on-campus operations have resumed. Medium Priority reports can be maintained at the department level.
