1. I am an hourly-paid, non-benefit eligible employee. Am I eligible for winter break paid leave, or will I be paid if I work during winter break reduced operations?
Non-benefit eligible employees (including student employees) are not eligible for winter break paid leave. Non-benefit eligible employees will only be paid for hours worked and are not eligible for equivalent paid time off later.
Please note that employees should only work during the winter break when asked or with prior approval.
2. Is Winter Break Paid Leave the same as Holiday Pay?
No. Holiday pay is designated for employees who work on an official University holiday, as identified in HR-401.
3. I have planned time off during winter break. Can I use my PTO or approved qualifying paid leave and save winter break paid leave to use later?
No. Employees eligible for winter break pay must use the winter break leave code to account for that time off. Winter break paid leave is only available for use later if approved to work during winter break.
4. I work in a department that will be closed; however, I would like to review emails and catch up on work during the winter break week. May I record my hours worked and use the corresponding winter break leave time later?
No. Only employees who are approved to work during the winter break are eligible to use winter break leave at a later date.
