Northeastern State University is happy to announce that the following days are the designated holidays for the 2011-2012 academic year:
If any of the above holidays fall within your appointed period of employment, these days will be considered holidays with pay. Paid holidays are not available to employees working fewer than 40 hours per week.
Some employees may be required to work during these holiday periods. If so, they (non-exempt only) may elect to be compensated for the hours worked (in addition to holiday pay and in accordance with the University's overtime policy) or take time off for the holiday at a later time. Compensation for working either Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day shall be at a rate of time and one half for all hours worked (regardless of the total number of hours worked during that work-week). Compensation for any other holiday officially observed by the University shall be paid at the straight-time rate for all hours worked.
Employees are eligible for holiday pay if, on their last regularly scheduled workday before the holiday and the first regularly scheduled workday after the holiday, they are either at work or on approved leave with pay.
