Holidays and Closures

The following message applies to employees who use the Time and Labor system or a paper timesheet to report time worked or time taken as leave when campus business offices are closed for the holidays.

Should I enter time?

Do not enter paid holidays unless you work them. For benefit-eligible employees holiday pay will appear and be approved on the current timecard for paid holidays automatically.

What if the holiday is my normal day off?

If the official holiday closure is your normal day off, you are allowed to switch to another day off for the holiday as long as:

  1. You have Supervisor approval.
  2. The hours switched are in the same work week, or the hours switched match hour for your.
  3. You will receive holiday pay for the holiday; do not code anything on the ay you do not work in exchange.

How should new employees handle holidays?

New employees who do not have enough vacation leave or comp time, should enter time as leave without pay or discuss possible alternatives with their Supervisor to earn comp time or make other arrangements.

What if I’m required to work on paid holidays?

For employees required to work on paid holidays, use the Holidays Worked time code in Bronco Hub.

What if I do not submit time in Bronco Hub?

If you do not enter hours in Bronco Hub, please work with your direct Supervisor.

Winter Holiday Closure

  • There are normally three paid holidays during the Winter closure (time between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve). These days will appear and be approved on respective time cards automatically.
  • Salaried employee time will be approved automatically.
  • Hourly employee time should be approved by the Supervisor.
  • All benefit-eligible employees (except less-than-12-month faculty) must submit vacation time or compensatory (comp) time for the three days that are not holidays.

What if I’m required to work during Winter closure on days that are not holidays?

For employees who work during Winter closure that is not a holiday, simply enter hours worked in Bronco Hub.
