Reminder About Agency Holiday Early Out Leave

Human Resources has received various questions asking for clarification around the one-hour agency holiday leave that is been offered to employees prior to official agency holidays. As a reminder:  

• This hour of agency-provided leave applies to employees who are at work at the end of their scheduled workday prior to a holiday.   
• This leave does not apply to staff who have taken other forms of leave for the full day or at the end of their scheduled workday (sick leave, vacation, OPL, etc.) that day. 

We recognize the hour of holiday leave does not apply to all staff all the time, but we hope it is recognized as a goodwill gesture for those who have not used other forms of available leave. If you have any further questions, contact Tony Chiaramonte, Director of Human Resources, at ext. 14534.
