2024 Holiday Calendar
The 2024 holiday calendar is available on the HR website. In 2024, UNC System permanent employees will receive 12 paid holidays – 11 scheduled and one floating. In addition to the 12 paid holidays, permanent employees will also receive one day of Personal Observance Leave, which can be used any time during the 2024 calendar year as a day of personal significance, including days of cultural or religious importance. The state's Spring Holiday has been designated as a floating holiday that can be used by employees for any reason during the calendar year. System Office will be open on Friday, March 29, 2024, instead of being closed in observance of the Spring Holiday.
