The UW system grants eligible employees nine days of paid statutory leave per year. Full-time employees earn eight hours of vacation for each holiday. Part-time employees earn a prorated amount for hours worked during the pay period, which includes statutory leave. The State of Wisconsin provides eligible employees with nine days of paid public leave per calendar year. We are writing to remind you of UW-Madison`s religious policy and to highlight faculty legislation regarding election day observance. State law requires that any student with a conflict between an academic requirement and religious practice must have an alternative to fulfilling the academic requirement. A student`s assertion about a religious conflict, which may include travel time, should be taken literally. There is no practical, dignified or legal way to assess individual claims. Due to different business needs across the UW system, some employees may need to work on a holiday. Employees who are required to work on a public holiday, or if the holiday falls on an employee`s normal day off, are entitled to a floating statutory holiday. An employee may use regular or variable holiday hours prior to the date on which the holiday occurs. If the employee leaves his or her academic job before the public holiday, he or she must reimburse all statutory leave hours taken before the public holiday.
Instead of reimbursing overused statutory leave hours, the employee has the right to exchange other available accrued leave periods, if applicable.
