Restorative Friday Wellness Days to Begin Friday, May 26, 2023

By Brynn Fielding, May 23, 2023

Summer Restorative Fridays will extend from May 26, 2023, to August 4, 2023. For all full-time benefits-eligible employees, please see below for biweekly timecard instructions. Employees will be compensated at their regular pay rate.

Regularly scheduled hours Not Worked should be recorded as:

  • Wellness Hours Not Worked (day, evening, night) – 7.5 or 8.0

Regularly scheduled hours Worked should be recorded as:

  • Wellness Hours Worked (day, evening, night) – 7.5 or 8.0
  • Supplemental Time Earned (day, evening, night) – 7.5 or 8.0

If you were scheduled to work a partial day, the hours will be recorded using three lines:

  • Wellness Hours Not Worked (day, evening, night) – 4.5
  • Wellness Hours Worked (day, evening, night) – 3.0
  • Supplemental Time Earned – 3.0

Employees who are on medical leave will not have these hours converted to Wellness Hours, and temporary and part-time workers, who are not benefit-eligible, are not entitled to the Wellness Hours benefit.

Student employees who work Fridays will be paid at their regular rate for hours worked. For offices that will be fully closed on Summer Restoration Fridays, student employees are not expected to work. If work can be performed remotely and with minimal supervision, supervisors can make that arrangement with their student employee(s).

Please contact the Office of Human Resources at (607) 274-8000 or payroll@ithaca.edu with any questions or for assistance.
