Floating Holiday
A Floating Holiday is provided for those who must work on Patriot’s Day. Exempt employees do not need to log the floating holiday but must arrange with their manager to use within 90 days. Nonexempt employees do need to log the floating holiday within 90 days if they worked on Patriot’s Day. In order to be credited the floating holiday, they need to do a negative seven or eight hour adjustment (depending on standard schedule) and then enter the floating holiday later when time is utilized.
