Classified employees in buildings affected by the electrical shutdown may arrange with their supervisor to alter their work schedule in order to fulfill their work hours within the parameters of the shutdown or on any other days within the remainder of the payroll period. If such arrangements cannot be made, employees may charge any available leave accruals other than sick leave. Questions about classified staff work schedules may be directed to the Human Resource Management Office at ext. 4822.
