Launch recognizes the following paid federal holidays for all school employees:
Additionally all school employees receive a paid December holiday break. There also may be additional holidays that Launch observes in conjunction with the NYC Department of Education.
Unless otherwise provided in this policy, all Launch employees will receive time off with pay at their normal base rate for each observed holiday. Employees on a leave of absence are ineligible for holiday benefits that accrue while on leave. Temporary and part time employees are not eligible to receive holiday pay.
To qualify for holiday pay, all employees must work the last scheduled day before and the first scheduled day after the holiday except in the event an absence has been approved by the employee’s supervisor.
