This is covered in our employment contracts. The employment contract designates holidays and winter recess. Holidays are listed as holidays with pay: Thanksgiving Day, the day following Thanksgiving Day, December 24, December 25, December 31, January 1, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day. So our winter break days are not holidays.
Holiday winter recess is designated for those days between holidays, December 26 through December 30. If an employee is scheduled to work from Dec. 26 through Dec. 30, "the employee shall be paid at the employee’s overtime rate for all hours worked." The contract reads: Whenever one of the days observed by the University for a holiday falls on a scheduled day off in the employee’s work week, the employee shall receive another day off with pay, the time to be arranged with her/his supervisor. However, since holiday pay for a given holiday is limited to eight (8) hours, an employee on a work schedule of more than eight (8) hours per day exclusive of overtime shall receive eight (8) hours off with holiday pay and may utilize her/his personal hours or accrued vacation for hours beyond those eight (8).
