Winter Curtailment 2023

Similar to previous years, UC ANR units – including research and extension centers, UCCE county offices, the Second Street Building in Davis and the UCOP Franklin Building in Oakland – will be closed from Dec. 25, 2023, through Jan. 2, 2024, except for essential services. UC ANR offices will reopen on Jan. 3, 2024. 

Winter Schedule: 
Dec. 25, 2023 – Holiday 
Dec.  26, 2023 – Holiday 
Dec.  27, 2023 – Curtailment (closure) 
Dec.  28, 2023 – Curtailment (closure) 
Dec.  29, 2023 – Curtailment (closure) 
Jan. 1, 2024 – Holiday 
Jan. 2, 2024 – Holiday 

Employees have 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 with the direct supervisors 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 UC ANR leadership. If you have a question about your local office schedule, please contact your unit director.  

Additional information

• Time reporting – The Time Reporting System (TRS) does not currently have the curtailment dates identified/shaded.  UC ANR employees are still able to enter leave or time worked per day as appropriate based on local need.  
  
  Additionally, if borrowing against future vacation, usage should be entered on the timesheet as it will allow the balance to go into the negative and will be caught up with future accruals.  Feel free to contact ANRPayroll@ucanr.edu for more details. 

• Systems access - Some systems access may be impacted during the curtailment dates. If you are approved to work, please contact UCANRIT@ucanr.edu to confirm you'll be able to access UC ANR systems during the closure.

Please contact humanresources@ucanr.edu for additional information or clarification.
