Managing Personal Days:

January 2007 issue

My concern is the need for staff members at DePaul University to be eligible for Business/Personal days. How is it that we often end up using vacation days in order to have a full day to manage our affairs. As you might know, compensatory time or 'comp' time is subjective in that one must keep tract of perhaps hourly time and then schedule re-payment of the time at the discretion of the manager. Please pass it along.
