   In celebration of the Christmas/New Year's holidays, the
   Governor has authorized informal time off for all
   employees based on the following:
   
   -  Full-time employees will be permitted four hours of
   informal time off.
   
   -  Part-time employees who work less than 1/4 time will be
   permitted one hour of informal time off, part-time
   employees who work 1/4 to 1/2 time will be permitted two
   hours of informal time off, and part-time employees who
   work more than 1/2 time will be permitted four hours of
   informal time off.
   
   -  Intermittent employees who work 1-39 hours during the
   month of December will be permitted one hour of informal
   time off, intermittent employees who work 40-99 hours will
   be permitted two hours of informal time off, and
   intermittent employees who work 100 hours or more will be
   permitted four hours of informal time off.
   
   For most employees, the informal paid time off will be
   either Tuesday, December 24, or Tuesday, December 31,
   1996.  The time off should be granted in a manner
   consistent with maintaining necessary services to the
   public.  Employees who are required to work on those days
   or who would otherwise be scheduled to work, but are on
   paid leave status, should be granted the time off prior to
   June 30, 1997, if administratively feasible.
   
   To further explain the schedules for part-time and
   intermittent employees, please refer to the following
