Friday, July 5, 2024, will be a paid administrative leave day for the CU Boulder campus, aligning with Governor Polis’s decision to observe the day as an additional state holiday. This note is to confirm that most CIRES researchers are eligible for this additional leave. 

 Some details:

  • Eligible employees: This additional time off applies to all leave-eligible CIRES employees regardless of work location.
  • Funding source: The funding for this leave will come from each individual’s current salary funding source. 
  • Recording time: Employees should record the time as “Administrative Leave”. If you have already scheduled vacation leave for July 5, please change the leave designation on July 5 to “Administrative Leave”. 
  • CIRES administration & campus operations: We expect CIRES administrative offices to be closed. 
  • Alternate administrative leave: People who must work those days will be allowed to flex time off – please work with your supervisor to determine if flex time is necessary. These employees and their supervisors should find alternate days (by December 30, 2024?) on which our employees can use this leave based on the scheduling needs in their unit or department.

If you have any questions about the above information, please contact cireshr@colorado.edu. Thank you and enjoy your well-deserved extra leave!
