Holiday Pay During Layoff Period
The following change in the policy for holiday pay during a layoff
period has been developed by the Department of Personnel Administration
and recommended by the Personnel Administration Advisory Committee.
It is particularly important now that the University must pay Unemployment
Compensation benefits to eligible staff who are laid off. This policy
change has been approved by the Board of Trustees, effective immediately,
and will be added as soon as possible to the current eligibility
definitions of the holiday policy and procedures detailed in the
Business Procedure Manual.
POLICY
Regular members of the clerical and service staff who are in layoff
status without pay at the convenience of the department for a period
of 30 days or less, which includes the Christmas vacation and semester
break, shall receive holiday pay for the official University-paid
holidays at Christmas and New Year's Day (currently two days for
Christmas and one day for New Year). Holiday pay will not be granted
to those on layoff for any other holidays. Regular members of the
clerical and service staff who are on leave without pay are not
eligible for holiday pay at any time.
PROCEDURE
The employing department shall report the number of days of holiday
pay of staff members in layoff status to the Departments of Personnel
Administration and Staff Benefits and Payroll (see Layoff and Reduction-in-Force
policy for details, Business Manager's Memorandum No. 150).
QUESTIONS
Questions concerning holiday pay during layoff should be directed
to your Business Administrator or Representative, or the Department
of Personnel Administration at the West Lafayette Campus. At the
Regional Campuses questions should be directed to your Personnel
Manager or Business Manager.
