*The governor has not officially designated floating holidays for contract year 2011–2012. If the past practice is changed, it will be announced in the Daily Bulletin. Historically, Election Day and Lincoln’s Birthday have been designated as “floating holidays” in lieu of fixed holidays for all employees except those represented by Council 82. UUP-represented employees observe Election Day on the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, November 25, 2011. Classes are scheduled on both floating holidays, so all other eligible employees will receive credit for a holiday on those dates and may arrange with their supervisors to use them on a date of their choice before the holiday recurs.

**By law, holidays that fall on a Sunday are observed by the state on the following Monday. Employees who are eligible to observe holidays (except security services unit employees) and for whom Saturday is not a regular workday will be credited with a day of holiday leave. Agency Law Enforcement-represented employees will receive vacation leave on these dates.
