For some time, we've been working on a way to change our system to account for County Holidays and Closures. I'm happy to report that our new process is ready!
This new process will allow holidays and closures to be managed at the local level rather than us programming in individual schedules each year. We believe that this will be a more efficient process for everyone. To find the full instructions and FAQs, please check the Forms & Instructions of the Extension HR.
For COSS, supervisors will no longer need to put notes on the time sheets, just make sure leave requests are entered.
Note- this is not for the recently announced 8 hours of leave for Juneteenth (cultural or relgious reasons). That is still being worked on by the University and instructions for that will follow.
Please note that this will only work from June 2, 2022 forward. We can not go back earlier in the year to enter holidays that have passed. I will be doing an audit of COSS time sheets for prior holidays to make sure everyone has the correct comp time. I don't have a date yet as to when I'll be able to complete that but my plan is to do it before Fall.
