It’s a Christmas Blessing! Benefits-eligible staff to receive one additional day off during holiday

Because of the way the calendar falls this year, the Whitworth Cabinet is happy to approve one additional day off for benefits-eligible staff: Wednesday, Dec. 22. The campus will be closed for Christmas break from Dec. 22 through Dec. 27, 2010, and for New Year’s on Friday, Dec. 31. Hours for the additional Dec. 22 day off should be recorded as regular hours on your timecard.

Since there are some campus duties that need to be fulfilled, cabinet officers will work in their areas to provide appropriate coverage for necessary services on Dec. 22. As in past years, staff members who are required to work during this extra day off will be able to arrange with their cabinet officer an alternate day off. Also, if any employee is called back for emergency work on Dec. 22, these hours will be compensated at the normal call-back rate of pay.
