UHD Event Guidelines

  • Since cook-off team participation requires members prepare several hours in advance, staff participating on teams do not have to take vacation leave between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm during this University-sponsored event.
  • Participating hourly employees should not punch out at 10:00 am. Instead, their managers or TRAM administrators will adjust their timesheets to show work until 4:00 pm. However, if scheduled to work beyond 4:00 pm, hourly employees will need to take vacation leave for the remaining time.
  • On March 1st, at least one person must be on duty in each department until 5:00 pm to accept calls, receive visitors, or transact business, as required by state law. In addition, since this is a University function, alcohol may not be consumed before 5:00 pm. If an employee chooses to consume alcohol prior to 5:00 pm, they must take accrued paid leave (vacation or compensatory time)
