Holidays

Eligibility: Regular employees working half time or more are entitled to paid holidays on a proportional basis.

Schedule:

• New Year’s Day (2 days)
• Memorial Day
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Thanksgiving Day (2 days)
• Christmas (2 days)

Special Consideration: An alternate day off will be given when:

• An employee is required to work on a holiday
• A holiday falls on a non-work day and no other day is designated by the University

An employee who is on vacation or sick leave with pay when a holiday occurs will be paid for the holiday, and no charge will be made against accrued vacation or sick leave.

There will be no holiday pay when:

• A holiday falls during a vacation period preceding termination (except when an employee is retiring)
• An employee is on a leave of absence without pay, on layoff, or on regular Workers’ Compensation
• An employee is absent or on an unpaid leave the day before or the day after the holiday (unless the absence is excused)
• An employee is on disciplinary suspension
