Holidays
UT Southwestern has established a set paid holiday schedule, so employees don't have to wait for the annual holiday schedule to be posted to plan their time off. Employees receive three floating holidays per year. Floating holiday hours will be available for use on the first day of the first pay period each fiscal year (with supervisor pre-approval).
