Pay provided to eligible employees for a KSU-observed holiday.

Paid time off provided to an employee who is required to work on a holiday, to be used on another scheduled workday.

The Office of Human Resources will publish the official holiday schedule for each fiscal year. KSU observes the following paid holidays, though specific dates are subject to change:

To be eligible for holiday pay, an employee must be in a paid status on their scheduled workday immediately before and after the holiday. An employee on an unpaid leave of absence immediately before or after a holiday will not be paid for the holiday.

KSU may require employees in essential roles to work on a holiday. An employee required to work on a holiday will be granted holiday compensatory time. This time must be taken within three (3) weeks of the holiday, and the employee must receive approval from their supervisor before using it.

An employee on authorized vacation leave will not be charged vacation time for an official KSU holiday that occurs during their leave of absence.
