The purpose of this is to clarify BUSINESS HOURS for all properties for the upcoming Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
IF YOUR BUSINESS IS NORMALLY OPEN ON SUNDAYs
Because both Christmas and New Years are on a Sunday this year, if your business is normally scheduled to be open on Sunday, you should instead close your office in observance of each of those holidays. Your office should be open on the Saturday prior, and the Monday following these holidays.
IF YOUR BUSINESS IS NORMALLY CLOSED ON SUNDAYs
In observance of both Christmas and New Years, you are authorized to close your office on the Mondays following the holidays noted above. Your office should hold office hours as unchanged (except as noted below) on the Saturday prior to the holidays and the Tuesday following these holidays.
In addition, any office open on December 24th or December 31st is authorized to close at 2:30 p.m. on both of those days.
Finally, any office open on December 26, 2016 or January 2nd, is authorized to open for business on a delayed basis — at 10:00 a.m.
The Site Employee Resource Center will be closed on Monday December 26th and Monday January 2nd in observance of the Holidays. For emergencies, Supervisors will be available via Mobile Phones if an emergency occurs. If you are unable to reach your immediate supervisor in the event of an emergency, please contact Jeff Passadore at 503.702.0535 as a back-up.
Information below applies to employees who are eligible for holiday pay to receive those benefits.
Subject to respecting the office hours noted above, please be aware that employees should be provided an opportunity to use their Holiday Pay during the week of each holiday. This will require careful coordination of holiday benefits granted to make sure offices are not closed entirely but rather operate with limited staffing while employees have the opportunity to use holiday leave.
Have a happy holiday season!
