University is open for business Wednesday, January 2, 2008.
*Flexibility needs to be given in scheduling the four season days for those departments required to remain open. The four season days can be declared between from November 12, 2007 to January 21, 2008 for the 2007 season days and November 10, 2008 to January 19, 2009 for the 2008 season days in departments with 24/7 operations.
Because days other than University designated holidays may have special significance to faculty and staff, up to three holidays of their choice may be substituted for any three of the designated holidays above. Written notification of substitution must be provided and approved by the dean, director or supervisor by July 1 of that year.
A reminder notice of these days will be sent from the Flint - University Human Resources Office one week prior to each observance.
Any questions regarding scheduling, flex time, impact on union employees or offices with 24 hours / 7 day shifts should be directed to the Flint-University Human Resources office at 762-3150.
