The floating holiday must be used by June 30th of each fiscal year. The floating holiday should be scheduled so as not to impact the operation of the university or to close an entire department on an otherwise normal business day . The requested date to take a floating holiday is at the discretion of the department head to ensure adequate office coverage; however, managers should make every effort to ensure all employees are able to take the floating holiday. Departments will track and report the usage of the floating holiday for employees and, if applicable, assure it is properly reported on the employee’s time card.
