Personnel Policy
7.C.4. Eligible employees shall be compensated for holidays on the following basis:
Only regular full-time and reduced-hours employees shall be eligible for holiday pay.
1. Full-time employees shall be credited with holiday pay at the rate of eight (8) hours for a scheduled full day holiday. (Ref: 4.A.2)
2. Regular-reduced hours employees shall be credited with a holiday benefit proportionate with the number of hours worked weekly with hours being considered full-time. Therefore, an employee who works 20 hours weekly will receive only 4 hours of holiday pay, regardless of whether they normally work more or less on the day on which the holiday falls.
3. Regular-reduced hours employees should discuss with their department head the impact of the holiday on their schedule for that week.
D. Personal leave of absence
7.D.1 Note: This section applies only to those leaves of absence that do not fall within the purview of the Family and Medical Leave Policy.
7.D.2 The appropriate Department Head, subject to approval by the Appointing Authority, may grant a leave of absence without pay for not more than six months. An employee who returns to duty within the prescribed limits of his/her leave will retain his/her prior service rights.
7.D.3 Before a personal leave of absence, an employee must use all accrued vacation, personal and sick time, if appropriate. Any unpaid absence in a payroll month will affect an employee’s accrual of sick and vacation time for that month.
7.D.4 An unpaid leave of absence of greater than one calendar month will not count toward creditable service in the State Retirement system. Please see section 7.J.5 for the procedure to be used for paying for health insurance during an unpaid leave.
E. Jury duty
All employees summoned for jury duty will be paid the difference between their pay for scheduled hours not worked and their compensation from jury duty. The employee must provide the Department Head with a statement from the court showing the number of days served and the compensation paid.
F. Military leave
Regular full time and reduced-hours employees called for temporary military duty shall be paid the difference between their weekly base pay and their military pay, if lower, upon presentation of an official statement of their military earnings.
