5. Labor Day
6. Thanksgiving
7. The Day after Thanksgiving
8. and 9. Two days during December Holiday as designated by the University.

In order to be eligible for holiday pay, employees must be regularly scheduled to work on that day.

Two (2) “personal” holidays per fiscal year are also granted and may be taken, once supervisor approval has been obtained, after 90 days of employment. These days may be used to observe state or religious holidays (for example, Columbus Day or Veteran’s Day) when the University is functioning. Employees who begin employment at WPI after January 1st and prior to April 1st 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.
