State Employes Will Be
Given Time Off at Xmas
Gov. Win. Egan said that state
employes will be given Monday,
Dec. 24, off so that those who
wish to travel for the Christmas
holiday will be able to do so.
The action is in line with an
executive order issued by Presi
dent Kennedy granting a similar
privilege to federal employes.
Gov. Egan said that with Christ
mas Day falling as it does this
year, the order gives recognition
to the traditional practice and de
sire to be with friends and rela
tives for Christmas observances.
Although Dec. 31. the day before
the New Year holiday, also falls
on Monday, Gov. Egan said leave
with pay will not be granted on
that day. Those wishing to be ab
sent from work on that day will
be required to deduct the time
from their annual leave accumu
lation.
The Governor said the decision
concerning Dec. 24 would be ap
plicable to all state employes ex
cept those whose presence on that
day is believed by their depart
ment head to be essential.
