Holiday Leave. Paid holiday leave is provided to employees who are appointed to work at least 20
hours per week for a period of at least four and one half continuous months. Employees appointed
less than full-time but at least 20 hours per week are eligible for holiday leave proportionate to the
number of hours appointed.
Holiday Compensatory Time. Employees who work on a holiday will receive equivalent time off
within the 12-month period following the holiday worked.
Optional Holidays. The legislature has designated Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Cesar Chavez Day,
and Good Friday as optional holidays. A holiday pay eligible employee may observe optional
holidays by working on any holiday in which a skeleton workforce is required or by using applicable
accrued leave.
For UT Health RGV healthcare delivery sites, the holiday work schedules will be communicated by
UT Health RGV ambulatory operations leadership or other designated administration to the
respective clinical service lines.
* With the exception of essential services.
