Use of Floating Legal Holidays – December 25, 2010 and January 1, 2011
All employees eligible to earn and use legal holidays should note that Christmas Day, Saturday December 25, 2010, and New Year’s Day, Saturday, January 1, 2011, are floating legal holidays since these holidays fall on a regularly scheduled day off (a Saturday) for most employees.
Unclassified Employees
For unclassified employees (those paid monthly), floating holiday time can be used anytime during the fiscal year in which it is granted (July 1 – June 30), but MUST be used by the end of the fiscal year. For example, the December 25, 2010 floating holiday must be used by June 30, 2011.
The January 1, 2011 floating legal holiday must be used by June 30, 2011.
Unused floating holiday time is lost after June 30.
Floating holiday time is allocated to the employee during the pay period in which the holiday falls and will appear on the next leave statement. When floating holiday time is used before the holiday occurs, the balance will appear as a negative number on the statement and in the leave accounting system.
