Can employees choose to work during the December 23-24, 2009 closure?
Generally, no. Non–essential employees included in the Plan must take administrative leave on those two days. Included employees who are notified in writing by their supervisors that they are “essential” during the general closure must work as assigned and will be permitted up to two days of administrative leave, depending on their full or parttime status, on an alternate scheduled date(s) prior to June 30, 2010. Employees not included in the TSR Plan should work as assigned or use annual or personal leave; see Question #6.
