Frequently asked questions and their answers for the end of the year.
When and how do I enter my Winter Recess hours?
Because business requirements vary in each department, all staff must formally request winter recess days off, and their managers must approve the time off in Workday. Winter Recess hours will be available to enter on December 15th. Link to University Policy – https://policy.usc.edu/winter-recess/

No. Our offices will close at 12PM on 12/24/2019 and will reopen 1/2/2020.
