December 24, 2023 and December 31, 2023 are considered a "floating holiday". A "floating holiday" occurs when a holiday falls on a Sunday.

University Staff Employees—Use of Floating Holidays

For University Staff employees, the December 24 and December 31 floating holiday can be used anytime during calendar year 2023, but it MUST be used by the end of the calendar year. Legal holidays, including floating holidays, must be entered into absence requests. If an employee works on a holiday, the Time Reporting Code of HOLWK (Holiday Worked) must still be added to the timesheet.

Unclassified Employees/Academic Staff-Use of Floating Holidays

For unclassified employees, floating holiday time can be used anytime during the fiscal year in which it is granted (July 1 – June 30), but MUST be used by the end of the fiscal year. Both floating holidays can be used anytime in Fiscal Year 2024 (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024), but MUST be used by June 30, 2024. Employees should report usage of the floating holidays hours on their electronic leave reports. When entering the leave usage in HRS, select Legal Holiday (UNC) as the Absence Name.

If an employee uses the floating holiday and terminates prior to earning it, a negative balance will result and will need to be repaid by the employee.
