Holiday calendar

MIT offers a number of paid holidays each year, which are listed on the NA Travel Calendar and on MIT’s Human Resources holiday calendar.

For salaried employees:

Salaried staff do not need to record MIT holidays.

For hourly MIT employees:

Hourly MIT staff should record holidays by selecting “Holiday” on their time sheet for the appropriate day(s) by going to Atlas Time and Vacation Entry Time Sheet Entry.

Notes for all staff:

There is no expectation for staff to work on a MIT holiday. If staff are on vacation during a MIT holiday, they do not need to enter the day of the holiday as vacation.

Staff who choose to take time off for holidays or religious observances that are not official MIT holidays need to make up that time in communication with their supervisor, or should record those days as “vacation” (or “personal leave” for hourly MIT staff).  Supervisors are encouraged to be as accommodating as possible and work with staff as appropriate to use flex time when requested in place of vacation time for staff who wish to take time off for holidays or religious observances that are not official MIT holidays. Please refer to MIT’s Leave for Religious Observances policies for more information.
