Reminder: 2024 winter recess

The university will be closed Dec. 23, 24, 25 and Jan. 1, which are university holidays, as well as Dec. 26, 27, 30 and 31, which is the 2024 winter recess. Therefore, the university will be officially closed Dec. 23, 2024, through Jan. 1, 2025. For more information on the winter recess, see the 2024 Winter Recess FAQs.

Pay practices for the 2024 winter recess also are available. Nonessential, benefits-eligible employees will receive pay for normally scheduled hours during the winter recess. Nonexempt staff should access SuccessFactors and use the Request Time Off Quick Action Tile to record days as time off. Select “Other Leave with Pay” from the “Time Type” drop-down menu. Follow the Other Leave (with Pay) Quick Reference Guide for further information.

Any staff with previously scheduled leaves on the winter recess days will need to review the 2024 Winter Recess FAQs document. If none of the situations apply, then the request will need to be canceled by the employee. Questions should be directed to compensation@purdue.edu.
