*Employees should check with their supervisors to determine if they are expected to work at all during the extended holiday recess. Unless told otherwise, those working in positions classified as essential should plan to report to work.
Exempt staff who are required to work on a holiday will receive an additional floating holiday.
Non-exempt (hourly) staff will receive payment of time and one-half for actual hours worked on a University holiday. This should be recorded on the timesheet using the OT @ 1.5 code.
Supervisors must provide HR with the names of employees working during the holiday recess so they are paid accurately and/or receive credit for the additional floating holiday time.
