2. Work an additional eight hours during the remainder of the Memorial Day week,
(four ten hour days).
3. Take the day off without pay. Human Resources must be notified no later than

be required to take leave or make up hours.

- The University administration recognizes the importance of the Memorial
Day holiday; we encourage you to use this time to recognize the supreme sacrifice
that has been made by members of the armed forces on our behalf.
