Employees may choose an additional two (2) days
as paid holidays. These days may be either federal, state, religious
or any other
day(s) the employee may choose to be approved by the Academic
Chair or Department Head. Because of varied religious practices
of Mount Holyoke College’s employees, Academic Chairs and
Department Heads are encouraged to approve employee requests
for time off for the observance of the religious holidays or
practices.
The total number of paid holidays for the fiscal year 2008-2009
is 13 1/2.
The College will permit some additional flexibility to offices
during the workdays between Christmas and New Years holidays. The
College will not officially close during this period; however,
individual offices may close if operational needs permit, and if
all members of the office wish to take the time off. (e.g.: vacation,
floating holiday)
*On these holidays, certain offices or departments may have
to remain open
even if operating at a reduced staff. An employee required to work on such
a holiday will be given another day off with pay in lieu of that holiday,
such day to be approved by the Academic Chair or Department Head.
