As noted in the October 30th CU Boulder Today, Chancellor DiStefano announced that all CU employees will have an additional 16 hours of holiday leave available for their use between November 25 and January 3. This applies to all leave eligible CIRES employees at CU and NOAA. Below are guidelines and leave reporting requirements for these additional holiday hours:
- Employees will receive 16 hours of holiday pay, prorated for part time and/or any leave without pay in the month.
- Employees already on approved annual, sick or other type of paid leave may use the holiday pay on those days.
- Employees should seek prior approval from supervisors for use of this time.
- These additional holiday hours should not be recorded in My.Leave.
UPDATED: The Chancellor also authorized early release 31 December, at 2pm. CIRES is implementing this as we would any other early release: if you follow the CU Boulder schedule, you may leave 3 hours early. If you follow the NOAA schedule, you may only take early release hours if they are offered by NOAA leadership.
If you have any questions about the above information, please contact cireshr@colorado.edu. Thank you and enjoy your well-deserved extra leave!
