  1. Holidays.
  2. DEFINITION - EMPLOYMENT STATUS. A state of employment, either actively at work, on vacation, or sick leave.

    The University recognizes certain days of historic importance as holidays and pays employees for time off on these days in accordance with special eligibility rules. If the University institutes a paid time-off during the Christmas season or for Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, bargaining unit employees will be included.

    An employee will be paid for each holiday provided that the employee has one day of compensation in the week of the holiday, except for those employees in units that are non-operational between Christmas and New Year's. For 9 and 10 month employees, holiday pay is only available during their appointment period.

    Holidays during vacation or sick leave are not counted as part of vacation or sick leave time.

    The paid Holiday schedule for 2010-2011 is as follows:

    Labor Day Monday, September 6, 2010
    K-Day (1/2 day) Friday, September 10, 2010
    Thanksgiving Thursday, November 25, & Friday, November 26, 2010
    Christmas Thursday, December 23, & Friday, December 24, 2010
    New Year's Thursday, December 30, 2010 & Friday, December 31, 2010
    Good Friday (1/2 day) Friday, April 22, 2011
    Memorial Day Monday, May 30, 2011
    Fourth of July Monday, July 4, 2011

    Time and one-half will be paid for all time worked on a designated holiday. If the employee is not given an additional day off within the pay period to replace the holiday, the employee will receive holiday pay in addition to the time and one-half for the time worked.

    Those employees who are required to work the legal holiday will be paid the holiday pay rate. If the designated holiday is also worked, those employees will be paid at straight time.

  3. Part-Time Employees.
  4. Eligible part-time employees receive holiday pay in proportion to straight time hours worked in the pay period in which the holiday falls.
