** Winter break closure includes three holidays and three days in which employees would be otherwise scheduled to work. The first and second business days are holidays (Christmas and President's Day observed); the third, fourth, and fifth business days will be paid as winter closure time ("WCT") by the university and the sixth business day as a holiday (New Year's day). Winter Closure Time neither accumulates, nor carries-over, nor is it eligible for any cash pay-out at time of separation, for any reason, from Ohio University. Employees may not report Winter Closure Time on days that they would not be regularly scheduled. Use of Winter Closure Time may not cause an employee to exceed 40 hours of work in one week.
