����

The University of Colorado Boulder is standardizing administrative leave during the holiday season this year, granting three-and-a-half days (prorated for part-time appointments) to reward faculty and staff. This move is intended to thank you for your dedication to student success and to ensure all are able to devote attention to their families, friends and well-being without the need to use vacation (VAC) leave. Some I&S employees work in roles that require them to be on campus during holidays or administrative leave days. Essential staff and staff who work alternative schedules should reach out to their supervisor to use this leave based on the scheduling needs in their unit or department. Find out how to submit holiday leave requests and what leave codes to use.

We look forward to seeing all of you at the annual I&S Employee Appreciation and Annual Awards Luncheon to celebrate with you and to recognize you for all the work you do for the University.

On Monday, 10/23/2023, staffing at Access Services was shorthanded. Danny started his regular shift at 4 a.m. with his intended shift over at 2:30 p.m. In the morning, another technician called in sick, plus the student scheduled to work at the front counter became unavailable. Danny handled the Access Services office alone and did an awesome job working past his scheduled time to 5 p.m. when the doors closed to the public. I appreciate his dedication, going above and beyond to meet the needs of the shop for our campus customers.

John Kline has a full time job. He is the planner/scheduler for the Fire Systems and Conveyance shop. A colleague of ours had to be away for two weeks, but his role on campus couldn't be left unattended. John has the qualifications to perform our colleague's role, and graciously accepted the additional work when asked if he could fill in while our teammate was away. John managed his own work and the additional workload of our colleague, and did it well — for two weeks!����

When one of the more unique tasks the role he was filling-in came up, he reached out to the Electric Shop staff for some specialized support; together they took on this more unusual testing without missing a beat. It was great to see such effortless teamwork and how much can be done by motivated and determined staff. John offered himself up to do someone else's work, without a word to seek praise or to declare any hardship. When I checked in with him on how things were going, he unwaveringly responded, "GOOD!" My thanks to John for his example of leadership and for demonstrating “cover and move” in practice when his extended team needed it.
