Similar to previous years, ANR units – including, Research and Extension Centers, UCCE county offices and the Second Street Building in Davis – will be closed from Dec. 24, 2020, through Jan. 1, 2021, except for essential services. ANR offices will reopen on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021. The curtailment (closure) schedule will be the same for ANR employees at UCOP.

Winter closure schedule: 
Dec. 24, 2020 – Holiday 
Dec. 25, 2020 – Holiday 
Dec. 28, 2020 – Curtailment (closure) 
Dec. 29, 2020 – Curtailment (closure) 
Dec. 30, 2020 – Curtailment (closure) 
Dec. 31, 2020 – Holiday 
Jan. 1, 2021 – Holiday

During the curtailment (closure) days above, employees will be given the option of using accrued vacation, compensatory time off (CTO), or leave without pay for the curtailment days. In the event an employee has not accumulated a sufficient amount of vacation time before December to cover the three days, arrangements can be made to allow those individuals to borrow against future vacation time. 

Some UCCE County Offices and Research and Extension Centers may need to adjust the closure schedule to accommodate local needs; this is at the discretion of the director and approval by ANR leadership. If you have a question about your local office schedule, please contact your director.

As you may have seen, UC Systemwide has been discussing a separate Curtailment Plan to be implemented at a later date. As soon as we receive further direction from UCOP, we will confirm ANR's implementation strategies. Please contact humanresources@ucanr.edu for additional information.
