All regular full-time active employees will be paid for the following holidays (date observed). Regular part-time employees will be paid based on the predicted average daily hours upon hire for each holiday or the FTE percentage (ex. 50% FTE would be 4 hours for the holiday). Temporary employees, seasonal employees, independent contractors, employees on leave, and inactive employees do not qualify for holiday pay. IOTA reserves the right to conduct a quarterly audit of hours worked to ensure the accuracy of holiday hours to be paid. Any fluctuation that exceeds a 10% change will be notified in writing (email is acceptable) that the expected hours worked moving forward may be adjusted at a specific identified date. Employees will only receive holiday pay while in active, paid status. Specifically, an employee must either work or be on approved PTO/sick leave the day before or the day after a holiday. If an employee terminates service with IOTA the day before or during a holiday, he/she will not be paid for that holiday. Specific Holidays for each year can be found on IOTA Helpdesk. 

*Spring break and fall break may be switched at the organization's discretion for 12-month full-time regular employees based on the business needs. These employees should speak to the Chief over their department for confirmation. 

Please refer to the chart above for paid/unpaid holidays. Additionally, the last day for school-site 10-month classified staff is May 28, 2025, unless otherwise noted.
