Reminder! July 4th Leave Guidance
Timesheet Guidance for the July 4th Independence Day Holiday 2024
Independence Day, Thursday, July 4th, 2024, is a Federal holiday for pay and leave purposes.
Full-time and part-time employees scheduled to work on Thursday, July 4th, are excused from duty and are entitled to holiday pay for that absence.
- Employees on a standard or flexible schedule are provided with 8 hours of holiday pay.
- Employees on a compressed schedule are provided holiday pay for the number of hours they would have been scheduled to work (i.e., 8, 9, 10 or 12 hours).
Full-time employees not scheduled to work on Thursday, July 4th, the calendar holiday, are eligible for a substitute “in-lieu-of holiday.” The in-lieu-of holiday is the scheduled workday immediately preceding the July 4th calendar holiday. For most full-time employees in this situation, the in-lieu-of holiday will therefore be observed on Wednesday, July 3rd, 2024.
Part-time and intermittent employees not scheduled for duty on Thursday, July 4th, are not paid for the holiday and are not entitled to an in-lieu-of holiday.
If you have any questions, please contact your local timekeeper. You can also contact the Timekeeping Help-Desk.
