Holiday Schedule and Closure Dates

2024 End of Year Schedule

The end of 2024 is quickly approaching, and HR and the Finance & Accounting teams want to ensure that you enjoy the holiday season, and that all bonuses, invoices, and payments are processed on time. Below is a series of events, and the due dates by which they need to occur. 

End of year invoices and reimbursement dates

To seamlessly process financial requests ahead of the 2024 Winter Break dates, please note the following timelines:

• Friday, December 6: Last day to submit invoices and reimbursement requests to be paid before end of calendar year

• Friday, December 13: Approvals deadline
• Friday, December 20: All payments out

End of year bonus award dates

For end of year bonuses, HR will need to know the bonus details, and have written approval from the project leader (or in the case of a bonus to the project lead, written approval from the Advisory Committee) by the cutoff date. The cutoff dates are:

• November 30 paycheck: November 19 cut off
• December 15 paycheck: December 5 cut off

Holiday Schedule for 2024 and 2025

The Company observes a specified number of holidays per year, currently 17 days, where team members can expect that most other employees and core staff are off.

CS&S will be closed for the following 2024 and 2025 holiday dates:

• January 1: New Year’s Day

• January 15: Martin Luther King Day

• May 27: Memorial Day

• June 19: Juneteenth

• July 4: Independence Day

• September 2: Labor Day

• October 14: Indigenous Peoples’ Day

• November 5: Election Day

• November 28: Thanksgiving

• November 29: Thanksgiving Friday

• December 23-31: Winter Break 

Because time off is unlimited, no one is required to take these specific days off and may elect to observe other days appropriate to their community.

Events and team member out of office dates: CS&S holds an annual all hands team retreat of 2-3 days, during which time responses may be slowed. Our partners will be given a month of notice of this retreat and provided special triage details to be sure that urgent items are managed before and during the retreat.

It is expected that team members will notify their projects, collaborators, and partners of upcoming vacations as early as possible, and will always share information on who will serve as point of contact should urgent issues arise. When a team member is out of the office for any reason, their workload will always be delegated to other team members.
