*Declared by Governor
**Employees who do not wish to use annual leave during the December break may
make up the time by working extra hours during the early part of December. Specific
information will be provided to employees and departments before December, 2007.
Holidays declared by Governor’s Proclamation will be observed by departments not
involved in patient care activities. Employees who care for patients and are scheduled
to work on these proclaimed holidays will not receive time-and-a-half pay. However,
they will be entitled to the extra holiday at times that are mutually acceptable
to the employee and his/her supervisor.
When a holiday (except December 25) falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is
observed; when December 25 falls on a Saturday, the following Monday is observed.
When a holiday (except December 24) falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed.
All regular salaried and non-student extra help employees are eligible to receive
holiday pay provided they are in paid status the last scheduled work day before
the holiday and the first scheduled work day after the holiday, in accordance with
Arkansas Code Ann. §1-5-104.
Employees who work less than full-time may take the holiday at a rate proportionately
equal to their time worked. For example, if an employee works half-time, a holiday
would be granted equivalent to four (4) hours.
