Good Morning! We hope this message finds you well. Given the weather today, we’re sending reminder instructions below for Building Closures. 

As a reminder, timekeepers may want to bring their laptops home this weekend due to the forecasted snow for Monday. Please note that Monday is a payroll day.

General Reminders 

• Building closure leave is paid leave that is only available to regular employees. Temporary employees are not eligible for building closure leave. 
• Since exempt employee’s pay would not be impacted by building closure leave, it is not necessary to add it to their timecards. 
• Building Closure Leave SOP
  (some links may be dead within this document; we are actively working on updating our Time and Attendance site documents)
