Holiday Leave

Holiday Balances

The system maintains two holiday balances:

  • Holiday Compensatory Time – This term refers to the balance of hours an employee has worked on regular state or national holidays
  • Optional Holiday – If negative, this balance refers to the number of hours of optional holiday leave an employee has taken and has not yet made up; this balance should always be negative or zero

The HM8U2 screen (leave balance inquiry) displays these leave balances.

Holiday Activity Codes

Changes are entered on the HM9U1 screen (employee leave request).

Holiday compensatory time earned (HCE) is entered when an employee works on a state or national holiday.

Use these two leave activity codes to enter holiday activity:

  • Holiday compensatory time taken (HCT) is entered when the employee takes time that was earned for an earlier holiday
  • Holiday compensatory time lost (HCL) is entered when an employee does not take or is not paid for holiday compensatory time within the required time of 12 months from the date the holiday occurred
