Happy Holidays from Human Resource Services

UF Leave Administration encourages you to enter your time and leave early as you make preparations for time off during the holidays. All TEAMS and Academic Personnel identified by their departments as “essential employees” can now begin to use and enter December personal leave, and USPS employees can begin to enter advanced vacation leave that will be used Dec. 26-31. (See the November InfoGator for further details on this year’s closing period.)

On Dec. 8, personal leave days were automatically applied to eligible TEAMS and Academic Personnel employees’ records in the elapsed timesheet for Dec. 26, 27, 28 and 31. The system will not require approval for the DPL-270 time-reporting code for exempt employees. However, non-exempt TEAMS and Academic Personnel employees identified as non-essential must enter DPL-270 leave into the system for Dec. 26, 27, 28 and 31.

Some other dates to keep in mind:

USPS employees must be in pay status (work or paid leave) for a “reasonable portion of the workday” on this day (determined by the individual department) to be eligible to receive holiday pay for Dec. 25.

Dec. 24	TEAMS and Academic Personnel must be in pay status (work or paid leave) for a “reasonable portion of the workday” (determined by the individual department) to be eligible to receive holiday pay and December Personal Leave for Dec. 25, 26, 27, 28 and 31, and Jan. 1.
Dec. 31	USPS employees must be in pay status (work or paid leave) for a “reasonable portion of the workday” on this day (determined by the individual department) to be eligible to receive holiday pay for Jan. 1, 2014.
January 2	This is the last day for USPS employees to enter advanced vacation leave used Dec. 26, 27, 28 and 31.
