Who is eligible for this additional one-time paid day off on July 5, 2024?
Regular staff members, including regular staff members covered by a collective bargaining
agreement (CBA), including SEIU, IATSE, and DCLWU are eligible.
Temporary staff members and student employees are paid for hours worked and are not
eligible.
If I’m eligible, how should I record this time off in Kronos?
Eligible hourly staff members should record their regularly scheduled hours for that day as “Holiday” on their timecard.
Does this additional one-time paid day off for staff members mean that classes are cancelled for July 5, 2024?
Classes are not cancelled for July 5, 2024, and staff members who are required to work that day to support academic activities should work with their supervisor to arrange another paid day off prior to the start of Winter Break on December 23, 2024.
What if I’m required to work on July 5, 2024?
Supervisors are encouraged to make arrangements for their regular staff members to take July 5 off. However, if work commitments require a regular staff member to work on July 5, another day off should be arranged prior to the start of Winter Break on December 23, 2024. This additional one-time paid day off is not eligible for carryover for use in 2025. It is also not eligible to be paid out at the end of employment. If it is not used before December 23, 2024, it will be forfeited.
Do student employees also receive July 5, 2024, as a paid day off?
No, student employees are not eligible for paid time off (other than what might be agreed upon in a collective bargaining agreement).
