The University closes its offices and functions for regular business and activities in observance of Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Winter Holiday, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and at other times approved and announced by the President. The Department of Human Resources Management issues the annual holiday schedule prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. Employees must be present for work or in an approved paid leave status on the last regularly scheduled day of work before the holiday and the first scheduled work day after the holiday to be eligible for holiday pay.
Holiday pay is a benefit of continuing employment for regular employees.
Employees shall not be paid for the holidays when employees are in an unpaid leave status. Employees who have submitted a notice of resignation, other than employees who are retiring, shall not be eligible for holiday pay, unless the employees return to work after the holiday.
