UNL will be closed Monday, Dec. 26, 2016 through Monday, Jan. 2, 2017
All leave-eligible faculty and staff, please scroll down for important holiday closedown instructions (split between monthly paid and biweekly paid employees).
Anytime a leave-eligible employee does not work, the hours must be accounted for as vacation/sick/etc. Normally, vacation/sick leave MUST be entered by the employee in ESS Leave. For the closedown time period of Dec. 26, 2016 – Jan. 2, 2017, Payroll will automatically post floating holiday, holiday and/or vacation hours. Based on an edit report from Payroll, the Business Center will individually contact an employee if they do not have enough floating holiday or vacation balance for the closedown. If an employee is taking vacation on days other than during the closedown, this would follow the standard process and be submitted through ESS Leave (i.e., the week of Dec. 19-23 and/or after Jan. 2).
All leave over the shut down for monthly paid employees will be recorded by payroll in the system as follows: Dec 26th - Holiday; Dec 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th - Floating Holiday; January 2nd - Holiday.
NO ACTION IS REQUIRED FOR ANY MONTHLY PAID EMPLOYEES as payroll will post these days. Please contact Donna Hahn (472-3866) or Tammie Herrington (472-2390), if you have questions.
Dec. 9-Dec. 22 time sheets
Biweekly employees, please ensure all time has been entered, released and approved by your supervisor NO LATER THAN DEC. 23 so that you will receive the proper pay for the Dec. 9-22 period, as payroll will finalize over the shutdown. For this two-week period, employees need to enter regular hours worked as usual, or request vacation or sick leave through the proper process of ESS LEAVE REQUEST.
