Christmas Eve Day (observed)
New Years Eve Day (observed)

Re
gular full- and half-time staff and 12 month faculty earn one floating holiday if they are employed on October 1,
2016 and another floating holiday if they are employed on March 1, 2017. Please remember that you can only carry
2 floating holidays at any given time.
Notwithstanding the holiday schedule, the nature of a University is that some employees are expected to be at work as may be
necessary to care for students, programs, or facilities for which they may have responsibility. Non-exempt employees required to
work on a holiday will be receive payment for the holiday hours as well as time and one-half for hours work on that day. There are
a few exceptions to this. One such exception is that non-exempt employees required to work on Saturday December 24th and
Sunday December 25th, will be permitted alternative time off for hours worked on those days instead of receiving automatic
overtime pay for hours worked those days.
R
efer to the Personnel Handbook for the many specifics regarding the University's leave time policies. Please coordinate with your
supervisor for the usage of leave time such as vacation, floating holiday, and personal time
Each supervisor has responsibility for assuring staffing levels are appropriate to meet the area's service obligations. Supervisors
should consult with senior managers about what level of staffing is necessary in their areas before approving requests for time off.
