General Information

The Campus is closed during a holiday. The observance of Lincoln's Birthday, Admission Day, and Columbus Day is deferred until the end of the year so that California State University - Fresno can be closed the last week of December.

An employee is entitled to the paid holiday on the day it is observed unless the employee is on non-pay status on the holiday or is required to work to perform necessary services.

The holidays listed on the payroll calendar are in addition to the Personal Holiday every employee receives on January 1 (Personal Holiday must be used by December 31).
