Policy

Employees are provided time off for seven holidays per year and provided up to 14 days of Holiday Pay based on the calendar. If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the holiday is normally celebrated the day before or the day after at the discretion of the college, with the exception for the Christmas/New Year’s Break. Employees will be provided Christmas Eve thru New Year’s Day off as paid holidays.

Full-time employees are eligible for holiday pay when they work – or are on approved vacation, paid time off (PTO) or short-term disability leave – the day before or after a scheduled holiday.

Nonexempt (hourly) employees who are required to work on a regular holiday will be paid time-and-one-half for all hours worked on the holiday. They will also be paid for the holiday, for a combined total of 2.5 times their hourly rate of pay.

**Note: When classes begin on the Tuesday after Labor Day and employees are scheduled to work on Labor Day, the college may defer the Labor Day holiday to a specific day during the Christmas/New Year’s holiday season. 

***Note: Should the day before Christmas Eve be a business day, that day will be provided as an additional holiday.
