Paid Personal Holiday Policy

Policy Purpose

USC values providing staff with time away from work to observe personal, religious, cultural, or related holidays and special events without the need to use their vacation time. The intention of this policy is to provide staff employees with a paid personal holiday for this purpose that may be used during times in which USC remains open.

Eligible employees may use personal holiday time on the following dates:

  • Federal and State Holidays not covered under USC’s Paid Holiday Policy (e.g., Veterans Day, Juneteenth, Cesar Chavez Day)
  • Religious Holidays not covered under USC’s Paid Holiday Policy
  • Employee’s Work Anniversary
  • Employee’s Birthday
  • USC’s Founders Day (Oct. 6th)
