2008-04-18 08:34 AM

In honor of former President Gerald R. Ford, President Bush has declared that Tuesday, Jan 2, will be a national day of mourning and has closed all non-essential government offices.  MDA has followed suit and closed their offices.  However, some clients which we support, including other essential offices and portions of MDA, have remained open or have instructed government and contractor personnel to report. 

 

Therefore, Paradigm Technologies is officially open for business Tuesday.  However, “liberal leave” has been authorized.  Personnel may take personal leave without prior managerial approval.  If possible, please check with your customer and work out individual arrangements and notify your supervisor that you plan not to report in.  Missed hours can be made up throughout the upcoming pay period if you choose not to report to work.   Additionally, please make sure to access DELTEK https://timecard.paradigm.net no later than COB Tuesday to enter the appropriate leave (either PTO or LWOP) if you choose not to report to work Tuesday.

 

If you have any questions, please contact your supervisor or Human Resources.  Have a safe and Happy New Year!
