Reminder: Winter Break is a Vacation Week for Teaching Faculty

With Winter Recess next week (February 18 thru 23) it is a good time to remind the College community about the contractual guidelines for vacation days. Article 9 specifies guidelines for the accumulation and use of vacation leave for professional staff. Unlike professional staff, teaching faculty do not earn vacation leave. However, during the contract year, teaching faculty are off contract/on vacation and not expected to work during the winter and spring break weeks.

Teaching faculty might consider adding an auto-reply message to your e-mail during the break to alert individuals that you are off contract.  Consider using an auto-reply message, like the one below:

Thank you for your email. I am on contractual vacation during the MCC Winter Break from February 18 through 23. I will respond to your email as soon as possible after that time.
