5.9 Paid Holidays - Procedures
Wisconsin Statute, s.230.35 (4) (a), establishes paid holidays, when state government
offices, including those of the UW System, are not required to be open for business, for
eligible* unclassified staff as defined in section 9.01. As of January 1, 1991 those
holidays are:
- January 1 (New Year's Day)
- The 3rd Monday in January, which shall be the day of celebration for January 15
(Martin Luther King, Jr. Day)
- The last Monday in May, which shall be the day of celebration for May 30
(Memorial Day)
- July 4 (Independence Day)
- The first Monday in September (Labor Day)
- The fourth Thursday in November (Thanksgiving Day)
- December 24 (Christmas Eve)
- December 25 (Christmas Day)
- December 31 (New Year's Eve)
When January 1, July 4, or December 25 falls on Sunday, the following Monday will be
considered a holiday. When January 1, July 4, December 24, December 25 or December
31 falls on a Saturday or if December 24 and 31 fall on a Sunday, a floating legal holiday
is granted.
Eligible part-time appointees receive a proportionate share of paid holidays.
* Only annual pay basis employees participating in the Wisconsin Retirement System are
eligible for paid vacation or floating legal holiday entitlement (UPG 9, 7/1/92)
