Extension of FY 2015 Special Winter Vacation to Include Friday, January 2
To the University Community:
Each year, the President, Provost and EVP assess the feasibility of observing Penn’s traditional Special Winter Vacation. After examination of the University’s potential operating needs and to recognize the outstanding efforts of our employees, the University will extend the Special Winter Vacation for fiscal year 2015 to include Friday, January 2, 2015. Thus, the Special Winter Vacation granted to faculty and staff will be December 26, 29, 30, 31, 2014 and January 2, 2015. If an employee is required to work to continue departmental operations for part or all of this period, the Special Winter Vacation can be rescheduled for some other time.
Staff members who are absent from work either the work day before a holiday, the work day after a holiday or both days, will receive holiday pay if that absence is charged to preapproved paid time off or to sick days substantiated by a written note from the staff member’s health care provider.
Vacations and holidays for hospital employees or those staff members in collective bargaining units are governed by the terms of hospital policies or their respective collective bargaining agreements.
