S.C. Code Regs. § § 19-708.03

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 10, October 25, 2024
Section 19-708.03 - HOLIDAY OBSERVANCE PROCEDURE
A. Holidays are to be taken on the prescribed day unless the agency requires the employee to work. The agency shall give employees who must work on holidays prior notice if possible.
B. When a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it shall be observed on the preceding Friday or the following Monday, respectively, by employees working a Monday through Friday schedule. Employees shall observe the holiday on the designated day or receive holiday compensatory time.
C. Employees in FTE positions who do not work a normal Monday through Friday workweek shall receive no more nor any fewer number of holidays than those employees who work the normal Monday through Friday workweek.
D. The length of an employee's holiday is computed based on the number of hours in the employee's average workday. To determine the number of hours in a holiday, divide the total number of hours an employee is regularly scheduled to work during a week by five (regardless of the number of days the employee actually reports to work).
E. When a holiday falls during a period of leave with pay, that day will be counted as a holiday, not as a day of leave.
F. Employees who are on leave without pay the day before a holiday shall not be paid or receive holiday compensatory time for holidays falling during this period of leave without pay.
G. The holiday schedules of public colleges and universities, including technical colleges, shall not be in violation of this regulation so long as the number of holidays provided in this regulation are not exceeded.
