Juneteenth National Independence Day Information

Greetings Sisters and Brothers,

In addition to the holidays listed in the holiday schedule, with twenty-four (24) hours advance notice to their department manager, an employee may elect to take off a full shift unpaid (with no attendance infraction) for one (1) of the holidays listed below:

• Martin Luther King Jr. Day

• Juneteenth National Independence Day

• Veterans Day

This means that if you wish to take Juneteenth off on Thursday June 19th, you must notify your manager the same way you would request a vacation day. You cannot call HR Voice to give that notice. You must notify your manager directly.

Note: The holiday may only be taken once per calendar year and must occur on the employee’s regularly scheduled workday. If you took off MLK Day unfortunately you are unable to request Juneteenth off.
