St. Edward's University generally observes the following holidays each year:

 

 

Regular Staff Employees are generally entitled to either holiday time off or holiday pay at the university's discretion (see “Official Workweek and Hours of Work” section). Such employees are entitled to be compensated for any holiday occurring during an approved paid leave; however, employees on leave without pay on the day before and/or the day after a holiday are not entitled to be compensated for the holiday. Should an otherwise benefits-eligible temporary employee's appointment be extended to more than six months without a break in service, holidays occurring after the Personnel/Payroll Action Notice extending the appointment has been signed by an Administrative Officer and received by the Office of Human Resources will be compensable.

 

SEU's official work week is Sunday through Saturday. When a university-recognized holiday occurs, full-time regular non-exempt staff employees are entitled to be paid for that holiday as long as they are on the payroll the day before and the day after the holiday. If a regular non-exempt staff employee is required to work on an actual holiday, the employee is entitled to payment for the holiday plus payment for the hours worked on the holiday at time and one half. If a regular, non-exempt staff employee is not normally scheduled to work on the holiday and the supervisor is unable to provide a substitute holiday during that work week to compensate for the holiday, the employee is entitled to payment for hours worked and payment for the holiday at his/her normal rate of pay. Part-time regular non-exempt staff employees are entitled to a proportionate amount of holiday time off.

 

Note: Non-regular employees are not entitled to benefits, including holidays. See definition of "Non-Regular Employment" under “Employee Categories” section.
