HOLIDAY TIME OFF: 

Each holiday established or designed by the University is intended to give an employee the benefit of one (1) work­day of paid time off. If an employee is required to work on a holiday, equivalent time off will be granted at another time. If a holiday falls on a regularly scheduled day off of an employee, equivalent time off will be granted at another time. Equivalent time off is scheduled in the same manner as vacation leave and is to be used before vacation leave is used. If a holiday occurs while an employee is using vacation leave or sick leave with pay, the holiday will not be charged as a day of vacation time or sick leave time.

ELIGIBILITY FOR HOLIDAY PAY: 

To be eligible for a holiday with pay, an employee must be in pay status the employee's workday before and following the holiday. A holiday that occurs between an employee's active periods of employment or while an employee is on leave without pay shall not be granted to an employee. Faculty or staff on less than twelve months service are entitled to the holidays which fall during their contract period.
