Hoopa, CA — Beginning December 1st, the Hoopa Valley Tribe will implement its new 32-Hour Work Week schedule for Tribal government employees. As part of this transition, the Main Tribal Office will be closed every Friday until further notice.

This change reflects the Tribe’s ongoing efforts to support employee well-being, enhance productivity, and modernize workplace practices while continuing to provide reliable services to the community.

Under the new schedule, most Tribal government departments and staff will transition to a four-day work week, operating Monday through Thursday during regular business hours.

The following departments will continue operating under their regular schedules due to essential service needs:

• Transfer Station

• ROADS

• Mini Mart
