***Certain Holidays may vary depending upon the collective bargaining agreement. 

Individual collective bargaining agreements are to be consulted to determine provisions concerning holiday compensation and/or compensatory time off work performed on a holiday. Employees not covered by collective bargaining units shall receive holiday benefits in accordance with Section 5-254 of the General Statutes which states, "(a) Each full-time permanent employee in the state service shall be granted time off with pay for any legal holiday. If a legal holiday falls on a Saturday, employees shall be granted equivalent time off on the Friday immediately preceding such Saturday or given another day off in lieu thereof. The Commissioner of Administrative Services may issue regulations governing the granting of holiday time to other employees in the state service. (b) Any employee in the state service compensated on an hourly or per diem basis shall be entitled to time off with pay commensurate with any time granted by order of the Governor to salaried employees with pay. (c) No state employee shall be required to work any legal holiday solely by reason of the convening of the general assembly on such day."
