Holidays
WPI observes nine traditional holidays each year:
1. & 2. Two days during New Year's Holiday as designated by the University.
3. Memorial Day
4. Independence Day
5. Labor Day
6. Thanksgiving
7. The Day After Thanksgiving
8. & 9. Two days during December Holiday as designated by the University.
In order to be eligible for holiday pay, you must be regularly scheduled to work on that day.
Two (2) "personal" holidays per fiscal year are also granted and may be taken at your discretion and with consent of your Supervisor after 90 days of employment. These days may be used to observe State holidays (for example, Martin Luther King Day, Patriots Day and Columbus Day) when the University is functioning. If you join WPI after January 1st and prior to April 1st you are only entitled to one personal holiday. The personal holidays used to observe state holidays will be forfeited if not taken within the fiscal year.
