The holidays at Christmas are obtained by combining the Memorial Day (May 27) and Veterans’ Day (November 11) holidays with the three holidays given for Christmas. The General Assembly grants three (3) paid days at Christmas during years in which Christmas Day falls on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
PLEASE NOTE: On December 30 and 31, 2013,employees in leave earning status have the option of using vacation, bonus or special leave, or leave without pay. FLSA eligible employees (those subject to overtime) may also use compensatory time off for these days. This will allow the University to close at the end of business on Friday, December 20, 2013, and remain closed until the opening of business on Thursday, January 2, 2014. This schedule will enable the University to lower building temperatures for the entire period and, thereby, achieve significant energy savings. Building temperatures, except in areas where research or other essential operations require exceptions, will be lowered to approximately 55 degrees during the period the University is closed. Requests for exceptions to this temperature level should be directed to Mr. Joe Walker, Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities Management, at 227-7441.
Permanent and probationary employees who are required to work on a designated University holiday will be paid straight time plus holiday premium pay equal to one-half of their regular straight-time hourly rate for the hours worked on these holidays. In addition, they will be given compensatory time off equal to the holiday hours worked. Hourly employees and those on temporary staff appointments receive straight-time pay plus a premium of one-half straight-time pay for work on designated University holidays, but they are not given compensatory time off.
