Eligibility for Paid Holidays

Full-time employees are eligible for paid holidays beginning on their first day of employment.

Full-time employees are entitled to all designated calendar holidays set by law or the chief executive with approval of council, provided the employees are on pay status on their regularly scheduled workday prior to and after the calendar holiday.

Part-time employees are eligible for holiday pay as long as the holiday falls on the employee’s regularly scheduled work day and they have worked both:

• The scheduled work day before the calendar holiday; and
• The scheduled work day after the calendar holiday

* Floating Holidays

In addition to the above noted holidays, some State employees who are employed on a full-time basis may be eligible to accrue either two (2) or three (3) Floating Holidays. The number of floating holidays that an employee may accrue, if any, depends on the agency for whom an employee works and whether an employee is in a represented bargaining unit.
