III. U. 8. Holidays
Georgia law provides for the recognition and observance of twelve (12) holidays each calendar year. Through individual proclamations, the Governor specifies the day state offices and facilities shall be closed for each observance.
Holidays will normally be observed on the dates designated by the Governor; however, in a technical college setting, one or more holiday(s) may be moved to a date later in the calendar year consistent with a college’s approved academic calendar.
Eligible employees who are required to work, who remained in pay status through the use of paid leave or accumulated compensatory time, or whose normal/regularly scheduled day off falls on a holiday proclaimed by the Governor, shall receive equivalent time off to be scheduled consistent with a technical college’s approved academic calendar.
