   * The Saturday holiday provision is contained in Management Memo 93-01
     which provides clarification on how this holiday provision will be
     administered.

In addition to these holidays, there is one personal holiday per fiscal year for excluded employees.  To be eligible for a personal holiday an employee must be appointed to a class which requires a probationary period.  Once an eligible employee completes six months of their initial probationary period, they are credited with a personal holiday for the current fiscal year.  The personal holiday for all other eligible employees will be credited on the first day of July for each fiscal year.

Holiday provisions for represented employees covered by collective bargaining agreements are authorized in the appropriate Memorandum of Understanding.


If your personnel office staff require additional information regarding State employee holidays, please contact Clarice Baker at (916) 324-0439, ATSS 454-0439.  Individual employee questions should be directed to the department's personnel office.
