This is a sample Holiday Schedule for a personnel or employee Manual or handbook.

The North Carolina Holiday Schedule for Personnel or Employee Manual or Handbook provides comprehensive information about the designated holidays and their observance for employees working in the state of North Carolina. This schedule serves as a reference for employers and employees to determine which holidays are recognized by the state and how they should be compensated. Here are the different types of North Carolina holiday schedules that may be included in a personnel or employee manual: 1. State-designated holidays: The North Carolina Holiday Schedule includes a list of official holidays recognized by the state government. These holidays generally follow the federal holiday schedule and typically include New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. 2. Floating holidays: Some employee manuals may include provisions for floating holidays. These are additional holidays that an employee can choose to take off within a specified period, typically based on individual preferences or cultural or religious observances. 3. Special observance holidays: Apart from the state-designated holidays, there may be specific holidays that are observed by certain organizations or industries in North Carolina. These holidays, such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day or Veterans Day, may be mentioned separately in the handbook to acknowledge their significance and provide guidelines for their observation. 4. Holiday pay and compensation: The personnel or employee manual may elaborate on how employees will be compensated for working on holidays, whether through additional pay, compensatory time off, or other means. It would also clarify the eligibility criteria for holiday pay, such as the requirement to work a certain number of hours or be employed for a specific duration. 5. Holiday scheduling and time-off requests: To ensure fair distribution of holidays, the manual may outline the process for requesting time off during holidays, including any specific deadlines or notification requirements. This section may also highlight any limitations on the number of employees allowed taking leave simultaneously to maintain smooth operations. 6. Religious or cultural observances: In North Carolina, employers are often required to accommodate employees' religious or cultural observances that may not be recognized as official holidays. The manual may include a section that outlines the process and guidelines for requesting religious or cultural accommodations during specific holidays. 7. Additional policies and guidelines: The North Carolina Holiday Schedule section may also include miscellaneous policies relevant to holidays, such as guidelines for holiday decorations in the workplace, dress code for holiday-themed events, or any restrictions on conducting work activities on holidays. In summary, the North Carolina Holiday Schedule for a Personnel or Employee Manual or Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to all state-designated holidays, additional observed holidays, compensation policies, holiday time-off requests, religious or cultural accommodations, and other relevant guidelines for employers and employees in North Carolina.
