Guidelines for Using Your Personal Holiday

1. Your personal holiday must be taken during the fiscal year (July 1–June 30) or it will be lost. It cannot be banked to the next fiscal year.
2. Talk with your supervisor before you use your holiday and follow the same procedure as requesting vacation.
3. Your personal holiday must be taken in whole day increments.
4. If you leave the University (voluntarily or involuntarily) before you use your personal holiday, you will not be paid for this time.

 Rules and contract language governing leave for personal holidays vary by employee group. Be sure to consult the appropriate governing document.
