Winter Break Holiday Schedule Procedural Information

As a follow-up to the amended 2022 University Holiday Schedule announcement, please review the additional information provided below.

The 2022 Winter Break and Holiday Schedule:

If supervisors require employees to work during this time to prevent a disruption to business operations, employees may be eligible to earn compensatory leave.

The President's Winter Break holidays are considered benefits to current employees of the University. Therefore, employees receiving the benefits will be required to return to work following the conclusion of the break.               

For employees represented by a union, the University will seek to reach an agreement with the unions to provide the additional holidays. If successful, an updated communication will be provided after we have reached an agreement with the unions.

OPS employees required to work during these periods must have supervision and will only be paid for time worked. Therefore, they are not eligible for holiday pay and will not accrue compensatory time.
