Weekend Holidays

Offices will not be closed on another day when designated holidays fall on a Saturday or Sunday. Such holidays will not be observed.

Optional Holidays

A state employee is entitled to observe Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Good Friday, and Cesar Chavez Day in lieu of any state holiday where a skeleton crew is required.
