  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 2009-2010 is as follows:

    Labor Day Monday, September 7, 2009
    K-Day (4 hours) Friday, September 11, 2009
    Thanksgiving Thursday, November 26, & Friday, November 27, 2009
    Christmas Thursday, December 24, & Friday, December 25, 2009
    New Year's Thursday, December 31, 2009 & Friday, January 1, 2010
    Good Friday (4 hours.) Friday, April 2, 2010
    Memorial Day Monday, May 31, 2010
    Fourth of July Monday, July 5, 2010

  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. For calculation purposes, the number of holiday hours in the pay period are multiplied by a fraction, the numerator being the number of hours worked in the pay period, excluding work on the holiday, and the denominator being eighty (80) hours minus the number of holiday hours in the pay period.
