Beginning with the Friday, Dec. 23 date, UNO campus will enter the annual holiday closedown period, returning to normal campus operations on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023.



Floating Holiday and Vacation Time

Because the university will be closed for multiple days during the holiday break, employees will need to submit the appropriate benefits time for any days that are not designated as university, state, or federal holidays. Please submit your floating holiday and vacation time by Thursday, Dec. 22.

Salaried Employees

Employees paid monthly will need to use the Firefly Leave Request calendar link to submit benefit time payable during the closedown period. Work with your supervisors to submit any Floating Holiday hours or earned vacation hours for those relevant days. Do not submit benefit time for Monday, Dec. 26 (Christmas Day Observed), nor Monday, Jan. 2 (New Year’s Day Observed), but the other days will need either floating or vacation time. There is a calendar provided below. Please ensure all time is submitted and approved by Tuesday, Dec. 20 to receive your direct deposit on Friday, Dec. 30.


Bi-Weekly Employees

Continue to submit time worked as normal and as prompted under guidance from your supervisor. Please be sure to submit hours worked from Friday, Dec. 2, through Thursday, Dec. 15, by Thursday, Dec. 15. Check your Firefly timesheet to ensure your supervisor has approved it no later than Friday, Dec. 16 to receive your direct deposit on Thursday, Dec. 29, during the closedown period.


On-Campus Employers

In compliance with Nebraska Initiative Measure 433, minimum wage for employees is increasing from $9.00 to $10.50 per hour effective Jan. 1, 2023.

Human Resources will be updating any employee under $10.50 and will not need individual personnel action forms (PAFs) for salary increases. If there are changes that your department has outside of the increase to $10.50, a PAF is still appropriate.

As an on-campus employer, it is important for you to be communicating to your employees about this change. We recommend that you notify your employees and communicate some important dates regarding when they will see the change reflected in their pay.

  • The Jan. 12 paycheck will be for pay period Dec. 16-29 and will reflect the rate they were at prior to the increase.

  • The Jan. 26 paycheck will reflect the increase to $10.50 for hours worked in 2023 as the pay period is for Dec. 30 through Jan. 5.
