Work Schedule for Thanksgiving Week

In June, Dr. Blake informed the campus about alterations being made to our Fall 2020 Academic Calendar to allow instruction to end at Thanksgiving in order to mitigate the risk of the COVID-19 virus being spread as students leave campus for various locations and then return.  While the greatest impact will be upon students in that they will not have three days of Thanksgiving Break that they would usually have, the normal Thanksgiving Wednesday schedule for staff will also be impacted.  Rather than the work day ending at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 25, it will conclude at 5:30 p.m.  Staff will need to be available to  support faculty and students and to ensure that all operations continue for that three hour period. 

The work schedule changes are indicated below in bold.

Thanksgiving

Monday               11/23/2020         9 hours work

Tuesday               11/24/2020         9 hours work

Wednesday        11/25/2020         9 hours work

Thursday             11/26/2020         8 hours holiday

Friday                    11/27/2020        5 hours holiday

The trade-off to working additional hours on the day before Thanksgiving, is that we will be able to reduce the number of comp time hours/vacation time required to be used during the holiday break from 5 hours to 2 hours.  Please see the revised holiday break work schedule below with the changes indicated in bold.
