Floating Holidays

• All regular full-time employees on administrative appointments and all regular full-time technical and support staff employees are entitled to take up to three days each year in floating holiday time.
• Employees in regular part-time positions are entitled to a prorated portion of these hours annually.
• These days are designed to allow employees to celebrate religious or cultural holidays not recognized by the University calendar, but may also be used for other personal needs.
• Employees will receive three days of floating holiday time as of July 1 of each year. New hires will receive a prorated amount of time to be used between the hire date and June 30.
• Use of these hours needs to be approved by the employee’s supervisor, and supervisors are encouraged to enable employees to use these hours whenever possible.
• Unused floating holidays hours cannot be carried forward from one academic year to the next, and the hours have no monetary value and will not be paid out at the time of termination, nor can it be used to cover a break in service.

Note: For offices that must remain open during the winter holiday break because the time is essential to their work, an equivalent amount of time off may be scheduled, with the approval of the supervisor. This time should be taken prior to June 30, 2025. Time must be taken in increments of full or half day(s) only and must be recorded when taken.
