Holidays

The holiday schedule is subject to change.​

Holidays for Institutions Of Higher Learning​

Institutions of higher learning are not obligated to follow the holiday schedule prescribed by the above or those proclaimed by the Governor. Instead, each institution is allowed by La. R.S. 1:55(F) to designate its own holiday schedule that will apply to its employees: ​

Each institution of higher education in the state, through a representative appointed by it, shall designate a maximum of fourteen legal holidays per calendar year to be observed by all of its employees. ​

​

Working on Holidays​

All employees will observe all holidays, provided provisions are made for efficient campus administration and maintenance. If employees are to work on a holiday, all department heads must get prior approval from your campus Chancellor and Human Resources Director.​

If non-exempt classified employees work on the holiday, the non-exempt classified employees will be compensated with overtime unless otherwise announced.​
