An employee who receives vacation hours will also receive Floating Holiday hours. The amount of hours received by an employee is based on their FTE, for example a 50% FTE (20 hours/week) will receive 4 hours of Floating Holiday leave. Subsequent changes in FTE during the fiscal year will not result in a change in the amount of leave due to the employee for that fiscal year. Additional points to keep in mind:
Floating Holiday time off must be entered in Time and Labor for each employee with the new code FHD.
