Juneteenth Pay Clarification

On Monday, we’ll be sending out an email to all leadership, supervisors, and HR leads systemwide clarifying what the recognition of Juneteenth on Monday, June 19 means for operations and employee holiday pay. Those who are scheduled to work will receive holiday pay in accordance with University policies, Civil Service policies, and collective bargaining agreements.  

Please ensure that supervisors who oversee staff needed to work on Juneteenth are aware that this is now a paid holiday. Our ELR Consultants are available to answer any additional questions.
