Holidays
All personnel, except temporary employees, will
receive the following holidays, or an equivalent
day off: Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Memorial Day,
and Good Friday.
All personnel, except temporary employees, may
take the first working day, either before or after,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day, as
designated by the University. Supervisors will be
advised each year of the designated days.
In addition to the above holidays, the regularly
scheduled workdays between the Christmas and New
Year's holidays are designated as Christmas/New
Year Season Days for AP, CS, MF, PT, PO and PS employees.
The Holiday schedule will be extended for three
(3) additional days through Christmas and New Year's.
Such employee who is required to work on a Christmas/New
Year Season Day as designated above will be paid
for time worked at the employee's regular hourly
straight time plus shift premium, if applicable.
In addition, for each one (1) hour worked by such
employee, the University shall add one (1) hour
to the employee’s vacation accrual.
For staff who are required to work in order to
insure the continuity of the operations
of the University during the designated Christmas/New
Year Season Days, an equal number of annual leave
days will be added to their annual leave accumulation.
For each Christmas/New Year Season Day such employee
is not scheduled or otherwise required
by the Employer to work, such employee shall receive
his or her regular hourly rate of pay, exclusive
of shift premium, for the number of hours the employee
would be regularly scheduled to work (not to exceed
eight (8) hours) on the day on which the Christmas/New
Year Season Day is observed, provided the employee
meets the following eligibility requirements:
- The employee must work the last
scheduled workday before and the next
scheduled workday after the day of
the observance of the Christmas/New
Year Season Day, unless the employee's
absence has been previously approved
by the employee's Department Head
or, in cases where approval is not
sought and obtained in advance from
the Department Head, is caused by
such employee having been hospitalized
due to accident, injury, or other
such similar and verifiable situations
of extreme personal circumstance.
Exception: The
University employee who retires at the
end of the year will not be required to report to
work the first work day following New Year's Day
for the Holidays accumulated through December 31.
Nonexempt employees scheduled and required to work
those holidays designated as paid for the holiday
and in addition will receive time and one-half for
all hours worked on that day, or may, at the direction
of the University, be given compensatory time off
within the payroll period in which the holiday is
celebrated.
- Employees retiring at the end of
the calendar year shall receive holiday
pay for the Christmas Seasonal days
through December 31st.
- The employee must be on the active
payroll for the week in which the
Christmas/New Year Season Day is observed.
- Additional regulation on this subject
may also be found and may supersede
this policy for employees covered
by collective bargaining agreements.
