Detailed Procedures
1. The supervisor is responsible for understanding the pay policies with regard to holidays and other university closings.
2. In the event that the national holiday falls on a day different than the day Case Western Reserve University observes the holiday, then the day that the university is closed to observe the holiday is the day recognized as the "paid holiday" for payroll calculation purposes.
3. Normally the university does not close other than for holidays. Employees should assume that in cases of inclement weather or other unusual circumstances, they are required to come to work unless a state of emergency in the University Circle area has been declared. See Emergency Preparedness and Workforce Coverage Policy.
4. Full time and part time employees will receive their normal pay if the holiday falls on their regularly-scheduled work day.
5. Unless exceptions are announced, the pay practices for Holiday paid time off, shown below, will apply.
6. When a nonexempt full-time or part-time employee works on the holiday, the employee may be paid in accordance with University Holidays and Other Closings Policy. Generally the non-exempt employee will be paid for the holiday plus time and one-half for the hours worked on the holiday.
7. When an exempt employee is required to work on the holiday, the exempt employee may schedule another day off with pay in the preceding or following two week period.
8. Employees who have successfully completed their orientation period may take one (1) personal floating holiday each fiscal year. Supervisory approval must be obtained in advance. In order to accurately track the time away from the office, employees must select the FHL code in PeopleSoft HCM exception timesheet.
