This is to confirm the 2020-21 winter holiday curtailment (closure) schedule.
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:
December 24, 2020 – Holiday
December 25, 2020 – Holiday
December 28, 2020 – Curtailment (closure)
December 29, 2020 – Curtailment (closure)
December 30, 2020 – Curtailment (closure)
December 31, 2020 – Holiday
January 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 the President we will confirm our implementation strategies. Please contact humanresources@ucanr.edu for additional information.

Livestock and Natural Resource Advisor Tracy Schohr was acknowledged in a Capital Press story for mobilizing her network to help save cattle threatened in the wildfires near Quincy. “I'm sure Tracy (Schohr) gives the credit to the farmers — as she should — but she's a hero, too, for organizing the rescues,” said Katie Roberti, spokeswoman for the California Cattlemen's Association.
