SimPL/Vacation Policy

Vacation Policy

In general,

• If you are away for part of a day (e.g. for doctor’s appointments, coursework, personal meetings, etc.), you don’t have to notify Lyndia unless there are conflicts with lab-related responsibilities/meetings/ events.

• If you are to be away for a day or more, or are planning short vacations (less than a week), please let Lyndia know at least two weeks in advance, and also indicate the vacation on your work calendar.

• To help with work planning, please notify Lyndia at least 1 month in advance of any vacations that are one week or longer (ideally as soon as you know dates for the planned trip).

• When there are time-sensitive research activities (e.g. human subject experiments that are limited in a certain timeframe), we will discuss time requirements as early as possible, so any vacations may be planned around such activities.
