Curtailment is the term used when normal campus operations are reduced; the time is unpaid. There are two ways employees can choose to cover the unpaid time:

  • Accrued vacation time
  • Compensatory time (if eligible)

Those who don't have enough accrued vacation hours can use up to three days of vacation credits in advance. For represented employees, curtailment days are handled according to contract provisions or collective bargaining agreements. Check with your bargaining unit representative to see how you're specifically affected.
