Dear UNL Faculty and Staff:
As you may be aware, President Trump signed an executive order yesterday declaring Dec. 24, 2019, a federal holiday. State law provides that whenever the president gives federal employees paid time off, the State of Nebraska grants the same benefit to state employees. Gov. Ricketts has announced that Nebraska state government agencies will be closed on Tuesday, Dec. 24.
Due to these federal and state actions, Dec. 24 will also be a holiday for University of Nebraska holiday eligible employees.
This change may impact your leave entries for UNL’s annual holiday closedown. Corrections to holiday leave entries can be made in January 2020. Please contact your departmental time coordinator for instructions and with any questions.
I wish you the very best for a wonderful holiday season.
Ronnie D. Green, Ph.D.
Chancellor
