We enjoy twelve paid holidays each year. The Governor declares which holidays State employees observe. Normally, we observe the following days as holidays:
| New Year's Day | January 1 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday | January, third Monday |
| Robert E. Lee's Birthday | Observed in November |
| Washington's Birthday | Observed in December |
| Confederate Memorial Day | April 26 |
| National Memorial Day | May, last Monday |
| Independence Day | July 4 |
| Labor Day | September, first Monday |
| Columbus Day | October, second Monday |
| Veterans Day | November 11 |
| Thanksgiving Day | November, fourth Thurs. |
| Christmas Day | December 25 |
Full-time employees who are scheduled to work on a holiday will be given an equal time off on another day.
To be eligible for a paid holiday, you would need to be in pay status either the day before or the day after the holiday. Being in pay status means that you would need to be at work or on approved paid leave.
