*Winter Holidays/Closure
In addition to the paid winter holidays, the university's winter closure takes place between fall and winter academic quarters. Employees in organizational areas that observe winter closure will receive holiday pay for university holidays that fall during the closure, and may use available PTO, floating holiday, accrued vacation, unpaid time off, or any combination of these, on the remaining closure days.

You are eligible for paid holidays beginning on your first day of employment if you are normally scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week, which is 50 percent or more of regular full‐time employment, also known as FTE.
Temporary and casual employees are not eligible for paid holidays or a floating holiday.
For international holiday policies and schedules, please refer to Offerings for Global Staff.
A floating holiday is available to all regular employees each January 1 of the calendar year and can be taken any time within that calendar year, with supervisory approval.
For Stanford’s policy on paid holidays, please refer to Administrative Guide Memo 2.1.13.
Employees represented by either SEIU or SDSA should consult their respective collective bargaining agreements.
