Holiday Pay Calculation

TRS uses the following logic to determine holiday pay hours for employees.

Monthly employees receive holiday pay pro-rated to their FTE (full time equivalent) status from UCPath (i.e. – an active at an FTE of 100% will receive 8 hours of holiday pay while an active employee at an FTE of 50% will receive 4 hours of holiday pay. Holiday pay is calculated by UCPath.

Active status, full time (FTE=100%) biweekly, hourly, non-exempt employees will receive 8 hours of holiday pay. TRS will calculate holiday pay for active part-time (FTE<100%) biweekly, hourly, non-exempt employees as noted below.

If Employee is ...	Appointed at ...	And ...	Then TRS Calculates
Not a New Hire – Biweekly employee	100% and is … 1 – Contract 2 – Career 3 – Limited 7 – Partial-Year/Career 8 – Floater	Has an active appointment on or prior to the holiday.	8 holiday pay hours Note: Employees who work non-standard schedules will receive 8 hours holiday pay (not the scheduled hours)
Not a New Hire – Biweekly employee	Less than 100% and is … 1 – Contract 2 – Career 3 – Limited 4 – Casual Restricted 7 – Partial- Year/Career 8 – Floater	Has an active appointment at the time of the holiday.	Holiday pay hours based upon pay status hours in the two prior pay periods (quadriweekly), using the Holiday Pay Table for Biweekly employees and based upon appointment hours for Monthly employees.
A New Hire – Biweekly Employee	Less than 100% and is … 1 – Contract 2 – Career 7 – Partial-Year/Career	Was hired during or within the prior two pay periods of the holiday.	Holiday pay hours based upon pay status hours in the two prior pay periods (quadriweekly), using theHoliday Pay Table.
	Less than 100% and is … 3 – Limited 4 – Casual Restricted 8 – Floater	Was hired during or within the prior two pay periods of the holiday.	Holiday pay hours based upon pay status hours in the two prior pay periods (quadriweekly), using theHoliday Pay Table.
	Equal to or less than 100% and is … 1 – Contract 2 – Career 3 – Limited 4 – Casual Restricted 7 – Partial-Year/Career 8 – Floater	Was hired after the holiday but within the holiday pay period.	0 holiday pay hours
Monthly Exempt Employee		Has an active appointment at the time of the holiday.	Calculated by UCPath based on appointment hours.

A quadriweekly cycle is defined as the two biweekly pay periods (4 weeks) immediately preceding the biweekly pay period when the holiday occurs.

Holiday hours paid for a part-time, non-exempt employee are based on the number of hours on pay status and the number of holidays in the quadriweekly cycle according to the Holiday Pay Table (below).
