Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the four-day work week schedule will be implemented for summer 2022 starting the week of June 6, 2022 and ending the week of August 8, 2022. Eligible employees will work 8.75 hours per day Monday through Thursday and have Fridays off. The University will be closed on Friday, June 17, in recognition of the Juneteenth holiday and on Monday, July 4, for Independence Day. Regular schedules will apply during these holiday weeks.

During summer hours, supervisors and 35-hour per work week employees will mutually agree to work either 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m., or 8 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. schedules during the four-day summer work schedule. During the two holiday weeks, office hours will be 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
