Good Morning,
-The AAOU SSC Team
This is a reminder from the AAOU SSC that any new employees who started working after the first banked holiday (Presidents Day) will need to plan to use personal or vacation leave for any banked holidays in which they were not yet employed with the University.
It is very important timesheet approvers review all timesheets for accurate recording of leave during the winter break especially for employees hired this calendar year that may not have banked all holidays that are used during UMBC's winter break closure.
Below are the three banked holidays. The first date listed on the left hand side is the date we observe them during winter break, and the date to the right of the holiday is the actual date of the holiday in which the employee would have needed to be employed on or before in order to bank that holiday for use during winter break:
Example: Presidents Day 2/20/23 was our first banked holiday of this calendar year. It will be observed on December 26, 2023 during the winter break. If an employee was not employed with UMBC on Feb 20, 2023 or prior, they would not have received that banked holiday and will therefore need to record leave (either personal or vacation) on 12/26/23 and can not list HOL on their timesheet for that day.
If you have any questions you can always submit a General Inquiry here:
Thank you!
