Employee Holiday Calendars - Academic, Clinic, UPG

All benefits-eligible Academic Division employees are eligible to receive holiday pay. 

If an exempt employee works on a holiday,  they can enter "Worked Holiday- Comp Special Earned (Hours)" as an absence to earn leave.

If a Non-exempt employee works on a holiday, they may enter the code "Worked Holiday- Comp Special Earned (Hours)" or  "Worked Holiday- Comp Special Earned (In/Out)" on their timecard to earn leave. To receive pay they would enter hours worked. 

*Same Day clinics at Riverside and Culpeper open 8 a.m.-12 noon.

**UVA Physicians Group exceptions for Day After Thanksgiving:

• Culpeper Pediatrics open 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.
• Augusta Pediatrics open 8 a.m. - 12 noon
• Same Day clinics (Riverside and Culpeper) open 8 a.m. - 12 noon

***Although closing at noon on Christmas Eve, it is not one of UPG’s recognized paid holidays. Team members working the half day on December 24 should enter their scheduled worked hours as they would normally. Team members who do not work the half day on December 24 should treat the day as any other PTO day, and submit their PTO requests accordingly.

UVA Physicians Group (UPG)

UPG employees who work 20 or more hours a week will receive holiday pay, pro-rated to reflect their regular hours worked.

Note: If you are working in a patient care area, or other area critical to business operations, you may be required to work on a holiday. In this instance, your manager will discuss holiday staffing requirements with you.

UVA Health University Medical Center

While holiday time off is included in each employee’s PTO bank, the Medical Center recognizes staff members’ contributions who work on the holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. For those employees who work on those holidays, they will receive, in addition to their regular pay, a premium equivalent to half-time pay for the hours worked during the 24-hour holiday that begins at midnight at the start of the holiday and ends at 11:59 p.m. on the holiday.

If you do not work a holiday and your clinic is closed, you can receive pay by using your PTO. For more information, refer to MC Comp Policy 401 (type "Pay Administration" in search bar).

While clinics will be closed during these approved holidays, the hospital, including the emergency room, remains open throughout the year, 24/7.

Non-exempt team members may choose not to use PTO if their clinic or department will be closed on a holiday if their PTO balance is less than 312 hours. 

Exempt team members who do not work any portion of a holiday must use PTO.
