General Guidelines
Leave eligibility:
- Regular full-time staff employees will receive four hours of paid leave regardless of work shift or normal days off.
- Regular part-time staff employees will receive an amount proportionate to their FTE.
- Non-regular staff and student employees are not eligible to receive this additional paid leave time.

- work the full day = enter 4 hrs of additional hrs worked
- take off half day = no entry needed
- take off the full day = enter 4 hrs of leave time as approved by their supervisor, such as vacation, state comp time, etc.
Skeleton crews:
- Staff employees who serve as the skeleton crew may be permitted to take equivalent compensatory time off within 12 months.
