Re: AMENDMENT TO BUSINESS OFFICE MEMORANDUM NO. 151

Holiday Pay During Layoff Period

At its meeting on 10 July 1975, the Board of Trustees approved the addition of an extra day to the University holiday schedule. This additional holiday is to occur some time during the Christmas/New Year period and be on a day determined in advance by the President of the University.

This action necessitates an expansion of the policy to include the additional paid holiday. The following Policy supersedes that issued in Business Manager and Assistant Treasurer Memorandum No. 151 dated 21 June 1972:

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 (currently four days). 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.

Questions concerning holiday pay during layoff should be directed to your Business Administrator or Representative, or the Department of Personnel Services at the West Lafayette Campus. At the Regional Campuses questions should be directed to your Personnel Manager or Business Manager.
