WVU declares Dec. 27th a holiday

WVU employees on the main campus and regional/division campuses will
enjoy an additional day off during the holiday season, says WVU
President Mike Garrison.

Gov. Joe Manchin granted all state workers additional half days off on
Monday, Dec. 24, and Monday, Dec. 31.

Since WVU already had those days scheduled as holidays, the University
will instead take Thursday, Dec. 27th, as an additional holiday.

In his announcement, Manchin urged state employees to use the time off
to “enjoy family, friends and celebrations that bind us together.”

Employees who already requested that time off will not be charged
annual leave. Please work with your Expert Business Office (EBOs) to
retract your request. Benefits will also remind EBOs to cancel any leave
requests for Dec. 27th.

For additional information or clarification, call the Classification
and Compensation unit at 293-4809.

Official University holidays will now be Dec. 24-27, Dec. 31 and Jan.
1. WVU will be open and operating Friday, Dec. 28th.

Since I was already taking the 27th off, I’m now shifting that vacation day to the 4th. Which means that I won’t have to go back to work until the 7th now. Yippee!

If I don’t come back from vacation feeling relaxed, then there is something seriously wrong with me. Oh. Sorry. Something else seriously wrong with me.
