Due to special requirements, the holiday policy for regular full-time employees of UAB Hospital and UAB Police Department (Workgroup C) will receive 12 personal holidays, instead of the nine designated and three personal holidays. As in 2023, part-time employees will accrue holidays on a prorated basis and holidays may be scheduled at any time during the year with the supervisor's approval.
