Instructions for Reporting Work Hours during Summer Holiday weeks

Regular Winthrop employees are eligible for holiday pay according to the approved Holiday Schedule.  The number of hours granted as holiday pay is based on the number of hours in the employee's regular work day (up to 8 hours per day).  The non-exempt employee's time sheet must account for at least 37.5 hours per work week in any combination of actual hours worked, leave, or holiday hours.  See the Winthrop University Policy Regarding Holiday Pay for additional information.

Employees working according to the "general summer" schedule should follow the instructions below for completing time sheets on Wingspan for holidays that occur during the summer of 2025.

Offices will be closed on Monday, May 26, 2025 for Memorial Day and on Friday, July 4, 2025, in observance of Independence Day.

Employees who work a normal 37.5 hour work week are credited with 7.5 hours of holiday pay, so the following adjustments to the work schedule are necessary for each of these weeks to ensure a 37.5 hour work week.

  • Employees will work 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. on Friday, May 30, 2025, due to the Memorial Day holiday.
  • Employees will work 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday, June 30, 2025, through Thursday, July 3, 2025, due to the July 4th holiday.

With the following exceptions, Winthrop offices and employees are expected to observe the summer hours.

  • Employees in facilities management and campus police will continue to work their regular work schedule throughout the summer.
  • The hours of operation for Dacus Library are available on their website.

Unless required to wear a uniform or other specific dress codes are required, employees may dress casually during the summer work hours and the President has asked employees to take the opportunity to wear Winthrop gear as often as possible.
