*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 28. Classes are scheduled on both floating holidays, soall 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.

**Full-time employees entitled to observe holidays and for whom Saturday, July 4, 2009, is a regular day off will be credited with holiday compensatory time in lieu of the holiday (holiday leave), or vacation for Council 82–represented employees. Classified part-time employees who are regularly scheduled to work at least half time and are normally scheduled to work on the Friday immediately preceding the Saturday holiday shall be credited with holiday leave equivalent to the number of hours in their regular Friday schedule. As with floating holidays, this holiday must be used before the Independence Day holiday recurs.
