Optional Holiday Request/Approval Process
The 2024 County Holiday Schedule includes an optional holiday, which is not included in the 2024 University Holiday Schedule this year. As such, the request and approval process for Extension County employee optional holiday use in 2024 will differ from previous years.
- To request an optional holiday, employees must follow the following steps: An employee wishing to use their optional holiday should email their supervisor or timekeeper with their written request. This request should include the date and total number of hours (not to exceed the employee’s daily standard hours).
- Once approved, supervisors or timekeepers must enter the requested date and time as “holiday” using the pay code column in Kronos. When entering the requested date and time, individuals should enter the total number of hours (not to exceed the employee’s daily standard hours).
Please direct any questions regarding timecard entries to PEAK Services at kronos@clemson.edu.
