Gov. Johanns has announced that all Nebraska state employees will have a half day holiday on Dec. 24 in conjunction with President Bush’s order that federal employees be “excused from duty for the last half of the scheduled workday” on Dec. 24.
In order to implement the governor’s order at UNMC, four hours will be considered paid administrative leave for all holiday eligible employees, and UNMC offices will be closed on the afternoon of Dec. 24.
For those employees who already had scheduled Dec. 24 as a day of vacation, appropriate adjustment will be made to their accumulated leave to reflect the governor’s order.
Employees who are required to work an entire shift on Dec. 24 will be paid for the time worked and also will be granted four hours off, which may be carried-over for use in 2003. Questions may be referred to the UNMC payroll office at 402-559-7460.
The campus will be open and operational Tuesday, Dec. 31; however, with appropriate consideration for departmental business requirements and anticipated workload, supervisory personnel are asked to be as flexible as circumstances permit in allowing employees to use vacation leave or a floating holiday on Dec. 31.
