Employees who are appointed to work at least twenty (20) hours per week for a period of at least four and one-half (4 1/2) continuous months are eligible for holidays. Faculty must be appointed for at least fifty percent (50%) time for at least four and one-half (4 1/2) continuous months to be eligible, and students employed in positions that require student status as a condition of employment are not eligible for holidays.

The Texas Legislature sets the number of holidays each year, and allows universities the flexibility to set a holiday schedule compatible with the academic calendar. In years when the Legislature meets, the subsequent year's holiday schedule is usually available by early July. In non-legislative years, the subsequent year's holiday schedule is usually available by early May.
