Holidays for Staff Employees

IU has added four paid holidays to this year's winter break. University offices will be closed Monday, Dec. 25, 2023, through Monday, Jan. 1, 2024. Learn more about these additional holidays.

Staff employees (50% FTE or greater) receive the following paid holidays a year. Each holiday is considered to be eight hours for 100% FTE Staff. Holiday hours are prorated by FTE for Staff employees with less than 100% FTE.

Note: If a holiday falls on a Saturday, it is observed on the Friday immediately preceding the holiday. If a holiday falls on a Sunday, it is observed on the Monday immediately following the holiday.
