College Holiday Policy

Staff in regular or term positions working at least half-time are eligible for paid holidays.

Staff should contact their manager/supervisor about the specific holidays taken in their departments as schedules may vary based on the needs of campus operations.

The college also provides one floating holiday that may be used at the employee’s discretion. This day is available at the start of a new fiscal year (July 1) and is forfeited if not used by the end of the fiscal year (June 30).  The use of this day should also be arranged in advance with the employee’s supervisor.
