Holiday Time Off

Updated on September 30th, 2024

Team members in a status code of A1 and A2 (36 hours or more per week) will receive eight (8) hours of holiday pay. 

Holiday hours are auto populated onto the team member’s time record.

Full-time team members (status A1 and A2) whose only day off during the selected week was for the holiday should select “No, I DO NOT have any time off to report” when completing the weekly exempt email response. Part-time team members need to report time off for the holiday if they were scheduled and took time off since they do not receive paid holiday time

Check with your leader if your department will be affected by any holiday office closures. For hourly team members working during the actual holiday, premium pay begins at 11 p.m. the night before the actual holiday and is in effect until 11:30 pm. the night of the actual holiday. Holiday pay for hourly team members will be adjusted for any hours worked.  

Can an employee elect to take time off without pay for the holiday?

Yes, part-time team members normally scheduled to work on the holiday but are not needed because their office is closed or full time team members whose work schedule is greater than 8 hours per day may elect to take the time off for the holiday without pay or use paid leave.

Their timecard should be coded using UTO-D (unpaid time off – department request) to cover the non-worked hours on the holiday.

  • For example: 12-hour shift employee would use 4 hours UTO-D if they elect to take the portion of their shift not covered by holiday pay as unpaid hours.
