Example 2: Employee’s regular schedule is M-F, 8-5. Non-premium holiday occurs on Monday and employee must come to work for 4 hours and used HOL for the other 4 hours. Record one of the following options for Monday:
- RGN 4.00 hrs, HOL 4.00 hrs, HAC 4.00 hrs

The extra compensation for hours worked on this non-premium holiday = 4 hrs x 1 = 4 hrs
Example 3: Employee’s regular schedule is Monday - Thursday, 7-6 (10 hrs days). Premium holiday occurs on Monday and employee must come to work for 10 hours. Record one of the following options for Monday:
- RGN 10.00 hrs, HAC 12.00 hrs

Holiday rules apply to the U.S. holiday for employees working alternate schedules instead of the IU observed holiday.
Biweekly Professional Staff Employees (BWP)
Professional staff who work on a holiday receive equivalent time off. Professional staff who are eligible for overtime (PAO and PAU) receive time off at a later point equal to the actual time worked on the holiday, up to 8 hours. If the employee works a partial holiday, the portion not worked is considered time off and is charged to Holiday hours.
Hours worked should be included in regular (RBP) hours and employee should accrue 8.00 hours of holiday (HAC) to be used later.
The calculation is hours worked x 1 = number of HAC hours accrued.
