Holidays

Michigan Tech observes six paid holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. In addition, the President of the University may declare other days, not to exceed four for the year, as holidays.

When a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, an alternate day may be observed at the discretion of the University.

To be eligible for holiday pay, you must have a day of paid employment of either actual hours worked, vacation hours, or sick leave during the week in which the holiday falls. Holidays during vacation or sick leave shall not be counted as part of vacation or sick leave time.

Part-time employees shall receive Holiday Pay in proportion to straight time hours employed in the work week in which the holiday falls.

Hourly employees required to work on a holiday shall be paid for the holiday in the same way as employees not required to work, plus time and one-half their regular pay for hours worked on the holiday.
