Since we've just passed the Fourth of July holiday, this is a reminder of how to correctly log an employee's holiday pay when working a flexible work arrangement.

The following is taken from the Flexible Work Arrangement Policy:

• For those employees working a four day schedule, if a holiday falls on a day that the employee is not scheduled to work, that employee may revert back to a five day work week for that week to be paid for holiday pay. The employee may also take a regular scheduled day during that week, but will only be paid seven and a half or eight hours and will be required to use PTA to make the work week whole
  • Example: If the employee works Monday – Thursday and the holiday falls on a Monday, the employee will receive seven and a half or eight hours of holiday pay. The employee may choose to use PTA to make up the difference and make the work week whole.
• For those employees working Flex Time, if a holiday occurs on a day the employee is not scheduled to work, the employee may take a regular scheduled day off within that week.

Further information regarding Flexible Work Arrangements can be found on our website. https://www.ithaca.edu/hr/benefits/wrklife/fwa/

If anyone has any questions regarding the policy, please contact Robin Davis or Alison Bowman at 274-8000. Thank you.
