Wright State University will continue the policy of providing paid leave to workers during winter break this year.
This policy is under review as part of the Total Compensation Study and a decision will be made by the end of 2016.
Winter break consists of the four workdays between the paid holidays of Christmas and New Year’s Day and is scheduled this year from Tuesday, Dec. 26 through Friday, Dec. 30, 2016.
The university will provide full time workers with two paid leave days during this break according to the Wright State’s Human Resources Department.
Remaining employees are expected to use vacation time for days off during the break or apply for unpaid leave.
Wright State officials stated that employees have complete discretion about whether to use their own vacation hours or to take unpaid leave for these remaining two days.
Special exceptions will be made for workers that do not have the required number of vacation hours; exceptions include eligibility for additional paid winter leave.
