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 |
