Holiday Calendar
Calendar Year 2022 Schedule
According to the Board of Regents policy, each institution within the University System of Georgia is allowed twelve (12) paid holidays each calendar year for employees at the institution. After consulting the academic calendar, and President’s Cabinet, we have adopted the following Calendar Year 2022 Official Holiday Schedule for Georgia Southern University.
| New Year’s Day | January 3rd (Monday) |
| MLK Day | January 17th (Monday) |
| Memorial Day | May 30th (Monday) |
| Independence Day | July 4th (Monday) |
| Labor Day | September 5th (Monday) |
| Thanksgiving Holidays | November 24th & 25th (Thursday and Friday) |
| Winter Break | December 26th-30th (Monday through Friday) |
Classes will not be held the week of Thanksgiving. If employees want to take Monday thru Wednesday off, they will need to follow procedures to request annual leave or compensatory time.
All regular benefited employees working full-time or part-time 20 hours or more per week will be paid for the holidays. Non-exempt employees scheduled to work on a holiday, will be given 8 hours of holiday pay plus pay for the actual hours worked on that holiday.
