Tropical Storm Gabrielle

All USF campuses were officially closed beginning 6 a.m. Friday, September 14, 2001 and reopened Monday, September 17, 2001 for regular business.  However, the USF Medical Clinic was opened on Friday, September 14, 2001.

Please remember the following:

1.  Administrative leave was granted in an amount necessary to bring the employees up to their normal hours for the workweek.

2.  Employees on an approved leave of absence, with or without pay, at the time of the emergency closing were not to have the leave of absence changed to administrative leave.

3.  Employees identified, as 'essential service personnel' who were required to work during the emergency earned special compensatory leave for those hours worked.

4.  Only Professional and Salaried OPS were eligible to receive their regular biweekly pay regardless of the closing if they were so certified.  Hourly OPS employees are not eligible for administrative leave due to the emergency closing.  If the workload required it, supervisors could allow the employee to adjust the workweek by working additional hours to bring the hourly OPS employees to their maximum hours for the workweek. 

Additional questions or concerns, should be directed to your department A&L coordinator or Beverly Jerry at extension 4-5717 or bjerry@admin.usf.edu
