- Reminder: Summer Workweeks Start May 31
In January, Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P., President, approved a modified workweek schedule for summer 2024. Administrators and staff will have 10 Fridays off this summer.
The University will be closed on Fridays beginning on Friday, May 31, 2024, and continuing through Friday, August 2, 2024. The normal workweek schedule resumes on Monday, August 5, 2024.
For record-keeping purposes, each Friday during the summer period will be counted as a full workday for charging vacation and sick time, except if it falls on a scheduled holiday. For example:
- If you take vacation the entire week of July 1, 2024, four days will be counted as vacation time since the University will be closed on July 4.
- If you take vacation the entire week of July 22, 2024, five days will be counted as vacation time.
In addition, the 2025 holiday schedule has been approved. Please consult the employee holiday schedule for the list of regular and special holidays observed by St. John’s University in 2024 and 2025.
As in previous years, the holiday and summer schedules do not apply to certain departments or positions due to the nature of their work. Please check with your supervisor if you have any questions.
We will continue to monitor these schedules to determine if modifications are needed and will provide advance notice if any changes are implemented.
