Welcome to the new Infonet.

Crabiel Hall Plaza Concrete Replacement

Arrangements have been made by the Facilities Management Division to have the Plaza concrete on the North side of Crabiel Hall replaced. Depending on weather conditions, the work is expected to begin on or about August 15th and be completed by August 26th. During the project, the entrance on the Otlowski Drive side of the building will be inaccessible. Anyone needing access to the building should use the entrance by Parking Lot 1B.

All work will be performed according to appropriate codes and all necessary safety precautions will be employed. Everyone is urged to use caution when near the work areas. Pedestrians and vehicles are not to traverse any and all barricades, fences, barrels, cones or caution tape.

Your cooperation during this period will be appreciated. Please contact Randy Larate at extension 7780 or rlarate@middlesexcc.edu if additional information is required.

Calculating Time Off During the Summer Work Schedule

35 Hour Week – Extended Days

For employees working a four day Monday–Thursday schedule (extended days), time off will be calculated proportionally and still in quarter increments based on a 7 hour day. For example, an employee who takes a full extended day off will need to charge 8.75 hours on their timecard (1.25 days).

If an employee wants to take a portion of a day, they need to charge the time in quarter day increments still based on a 7 hour day (1.75 hours).

• ¼ day = 1.75 hours
• ½ day = 3.5 hours
• ¾ day = 5.25 hours
• 1 day = 7 hours
• 1 extended day = 8.75 hours

For example, if an employee wants to take a half of a day off, they must deduct 3.5 hours from their end time. So if they work until 5:15pm, they should leave 3.5 hours earlier which would be 1:45pm. If they need more time than that, they would need to charge a ¾ day which is 5.25 hours.

40 Hour Week – Extended Days

For employees working a four day Monday–Thursday schedule (extended days), time off will be calculated proportionally and still in quarter increments based on an 8 hour day. For example, an employee who takes a full extended day off will need to charge 10 hours on their timecard (1.25 days).

If an employee wants to take a portion of a day, they need to charge the time in quarter day increments still based on an 8 hour day (2 hours).

• ¼ day = 2 hours
• ½ day = 4 hours
• ¾ day = 6 hours
• 1 day = 8 hours
• 1 extended day = 10 hours

For example, if an employee wants to take a half of a day off, they must deduct 4 hours from their end time. So if they work until 5pm, they should leave 4 hours earlier which would be 1pm. If they need more time than that, they would need to charge a ¾ day which is 6 hours.

If you have any questions, please contact the Payroll Department (ext. 3120) or the Human Resources Department (ext. 2522).
