Policy Procedures

If a holiday falls within an employee’s extended PTO period, the holiday will not be counted as PTO. When a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the University will specify the date that the holiday will be taken, if at all.

Holiday pay will be based on the number of hours that the employee normally works per day.


Failure to follow this policy may lead to disciplinary action.
