As you know, there are three (3) unfunded holidays this year: Labor Day (9/5/11), Veterans Day (11/11/11), and the day after Thanksgiving (11/25/11). The purpose of this communication is to ensure employees understand how pay will be processed on these dates. No annual or sick leave will be paid in lieu of the holidays. Additional instructions are being provided for payroll coordinators to ensure procedural consistencies.
