The State of Texas allows 14 holidays during fiscal year 2023-24.

Along with the remaining scheduled days, that totals 18 days. Employees are required to take two days of paid leave Dec. 28 and 29 and two days of paid leave March 14 and 15.

Administrative leave: State law (Texas Government Code Sec. 661.911) permits an agency to award up to 32 hours of leave time as a reward for outstanding performance. SFA has two categories of eligibility for administrative leave; the first category is based on an employee achieving certain ratings on their annual performance evaluation, and the second category is for an employee who made a significant contribution to a university initiative or managed a special project. Administrative leave must be taken in the fiscal year it is granted and does not roll over into the following fiscal year nor paid out upon an employee’s separation from SFA.
I authorize the award of administrative leave to eligible employees for FY 2023-24.
