| 7. Questions for HR | What dates are we off for winter break. According to the website, it says the 4th, Board of Regents approved until the 11th and it also been said we are off until the 13th. What is the official answer?\n- Official return date is the 4th. However, Board of Regents approved us to be off until the 12th. It will be up to the individual departments to decide when people in that department. Each staff member will need to speak to their individual about this.\n\nWhat is the actual revision for the sick leave policy and vacation policy.\n- Sick leave policy, starting January 1, 2021, accrual time will only happen once a month. Previously it was done twice a month.\n- For vacation time, everyone accrual time at same rate. After a ninety days, for an employee to be paid vacation time if they separate from employment, they must give a two week notice and must work this time as well. Also, the max amount that will be paid out are hours that are paid out within one year. 15 days for 0 to 5 years. 20 days for 6 to 14 years, 25 for 15 plus years. Employee would lose any additional loss that is occurred beyond this. This will go into effect March 1, 2021.\n- An FAQ will be going out through email to explain this. | |
