*For Labor Day, several employees will be working in connection with classes in session. See bargaining agreement details for pay rules in relation to a holiday.

December 26 – 30th 2026: during this time period, the University will operate with only essential personnel as needed to maintain necessary University functions. Employees may use up to three days within this period (based on your regular schedule) as extra paid holiday days. Eligible employees may plan for up to three additional paid holidays beyond their normal paid time off banks for 2026-2027.  Use code "PHOL" on timesheets and Kronos.

Maintaining Operations: As in the past, it is anticipated that a complete shutdown of all operations for all holidays is impractical.  Each administrator will determine the degree of operation and staff required during the holiday period, and advise appropriate departments well in advance of the particular holiday so that proper arrangements can be made for telephone services, emergencies, etc.

Non-Exempt Personnel
Eligibility requirements for holiday pay and overtime pay provisions may be found under the holiday section of the applicable documents for non-exempt employees.

Please call Human Resources ext. 5596 if there are any questions.

Please circulate within your department.
