SOU Holiday Schedule

Holidays

• When a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday shall be recognized as the holiday.
• When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday shall be recognized as the holiday.
• Generally, the university is closed for the holidays listed above. However, individual departments may require employees to work based on operational needs.
  • When a Classified Employee is scheduled and directed to work on a holiday, they will receive either compensatory time off or pay at the rate of time and one-half.
  • Unclassified Employees with a .50 FTE or greater appointment who are required to work on a designated holiday that falls within their regular work schedule shall receive time and one-half their regular rate of pay.
  • Unclassified Employees working less than .50 FTE, and Student Employees, are not eligible for paid holiday observances and will receive straight pay for approved work hours when the holiday falls within their regular work schedule.
• Employees requesting additional time off for religious observations outside of the official SOU paid holiday schedule should coordinate a reasonable accommodation with their supervisor. This additional time off is considered unpaid, and applicable earned paid leave accruals should be used.
