The following have been designated as optional holidays by the Texas Legislature and may be observed in lieu of any official holiday appearing on the above schedule. Regular employees wishing to observe an optional holiday must either work (with supervisor approval) or use accrued vacation or compensatory time on the official holiday the optional holiday is exchanged for.

Yom Kippur October 2, 2006 Good Friday April 6, 2007

Since compensatory time may not be advanced to employees, staff members will need to acquire the necessary comp time for the energy conservation days prior to those days. Supervisors must provide ample opportunity for those employees observing energy conservation days to earn the comp time in advance. If comp time is not available, an employee must use available vacation or take leave without pay.

Questions concerning the holiday and energy conservation days scheduled, as well as timekeeping procedures for these days, should be addressed to the Benefits Section of Human Resources at 245-2557 or email hr@txstate.edu. Questions about who must work on the energy conservation days should be addressed to your supervisor or your vice president.

NOTE: Employees who do not have vacation or comp time available for the Energy Conservation days in December will not receive pay for the holidays in December unless they work part of the day on December 20.
