When Skeleton Crews Are Required

Texas law requires that the university have enough employees on duty to conduct business during designated skeleton crew days. Technology allows many employees to work virtually while still being considered on duty. While there are some responsibilities that require someone to be in the office, if employees can fulfill the business requirements from any location, supervisors are encouraged to consider allowing them to work remotely.  

Supervisors should consult with their appropriate vice president to determine how their departments will handle skeleton crew. For example, if the work of the department involves conducting business with students, employees or the public, then a skeleton crew would probably be necessary. Depending on the type of work, the vice president might allow the skeleton crew to work from an off-campus location or by phone. Based on recommendations from the supervisor, vice presidents determine the minimum number of staff required for an on-site skeleton crew.

Benefits-eligible employees who serve as a member of a skeleton crew will be granted state compensatory time in accordance with the HOP 4.27 State Compensatory Time.
