Holiday leave is accrued according to the number of hours paid in the pay period, excluding the holiday hours, and the number of holidays within that pay period.
Example: A less than full-time employee is paid 40 hours in the pay period, excluding the holiday hours. They will accrue 4 hours if there is one holiday in the pay period. If two holidays fall in the pay period, that same employee will accrue 5 hours for each holiday. Holiday leave is accrued at a maximum of 8 hours per holiday.
Employees eligible for leave accrual will earn holiday leave hours for the below-mentioned holidays.

Time-limited LCAs are traditionally employed for one to two years, depending on the court's needs.
Leave for Time-Limited LCAs is governed by HR07-19. To learn more about other potential leave benefits, please review Section 7—Leave—Leave in our HR Policies. Time-Limited Law Clerk Attorneys who do not accrue traditional leave should enter 8 hours of administrative leave (OA) on state holidays.
