EIU EMPLOYEE 2024 SUMMER HOURS

As outlined in IGP 19, employees, whose work assignments allow, to compress their normal five-day workweek into a 4.5-day workweek. Please be sure to turn off computers, lights, and personal air conditioning units if you have them to help improve our energy efficiency.

Campus-wide summer office hours will be in effect from Monday, May 6, through Friday, August 9. This year, flex schedules will be honored during the holiday weeks as well. Please ensure the work week consists of at least 37.5 hours of work hours, vacation and/or sick leave. Supervisors are responsible for accurate recording of time.

When summer office hours are in effect, all offices must be open Monday through Thursday between 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m. until noon. 

Due to ongoing operational needs, offices including, but not limited to, University Police, Booth Library, and the Renewable Energy Center, will keep regular business hours and remain open on Friday afternoons.

Holidays will be observed on Monday, May 27 for Memorial Day, Wednesday, June 19 for Juneteenth, and Thursday, July 4 for Independence Day.

Classes scheduled to meet on Friday afternoons will be relocated to buildings where the air conditioning will remain on.

Employees are to work with supervisors to ensure that a 37.5-hour workweek is accomplished. Each office is to change voice mail, signage, and other public communication to reflect its summer hours. Regular business hours will resume on Monday, Aug. 12.

If you need to complete your flex schedule, please visit webappsprod.eiu.edu/flexschedules/login.  This link allows employees to complete a request, obtain supervisor's approval, and submit documents and requests to Benefits for final approval.
