Holidays

Full-time regular and Part-time regular employees of the College are provided with paid holidays as follows:

• New Year's Day
• Good Friday (1/2 day)
• Memorial Day (last Monday in May).
• Independence Day (July 4th).
• Labor Day (observed as a holiday during the Christmas break and is designated for observance by the Office of People Services).  See Holiday Schedule published annually by the Office of People Services.
• Thanksgiving Day (fourth Thursday in Novem­ber) and the day after Thanksgiving.
• Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (December 24th and 25th).
• Two Floating Holidays (designated by the Office of People Services for use on certain days during the Christmas break).

On these holidays, most of the College's offices will be closed. Holidays which fall on Saturday or Sunday will generally be observed on the preceding Friday or the following Monday. In order to be eligible to receive holiday pay, you are required to work your regularly scheduled hours the workday preceding and the workday following the holiday unless on an approved vacation or an extended sick leave.

A definitive list of College holidays is distributed annually by the Office of People Services prior to July 1st of each year. Additionally, the “Holiday Memo” identifies “Days of Celebration” which are NOT holidays but are special days observed by the College community each year. Employees are encouraged to participate in these Days of Celebration (e.g., Mountain Day, Student Labor Day and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) but, if they choose not to participate, employees are expected to work at their normal duties.
