03 · Bank the holiday

Skeleton crew,
planned clearly.

State agencies keep enough employees on duty during designated skeleton-crew holidays. An eligible employee who is required to work can use the resulting holiday compensatory time during the following 12 months.

01Choose only dates your agency approved or required you to work.
02The planner defaults to eight hours; adjust it to your official credited amount.
03Credits are used earliest-expiring first and expire on the 12-month anniversary in this estimate.
04Date ranges are calculated across Monday–Friday workdays. FY2026–FY2027 dates marked “All agencies closed” charge zero hours; weekend and optional holidays are not shifted automatically.

The Texas schedule,
in one view.

The calculator uses the full-time accrual and carryover schedule in Texas Government Code § 661.152. Your agency's official timekeeping record remains controlling.

Assumptions & calculation notes

01

Starting accrual

A new full-time employee receives the full first month's eight-hour accrual on the first day of state service. The balance you enter is assumed to already include that credit and the current month's accrual.

02

Service-tier changes

A higher rate begins on the anniversary when it falls on the first of a month; otherwise it begins on the first of the following month. The start date is treated as recognized total state service.

03

Fiscal-year carryover

At the August 31 close, annual leave above the applicable cap is moved to sick leave on September 1. The September monthly accrual is then added to the capped annual leave balance.

04

Six-month eligibility

Annual leave continues to accrue during the first six months, but it cannot be used until six months of continuous state employment are complete. Holiday comp can cover earlier time off when valid credits are available; any annual-leave remainder before eligibility is flagged.

Planning estimate, not an official leave statement. This forecast assumes full-time, continuous employment with no full month of leave without pay, status change, special credit, or manual agency adjustment. Holiday-comp eligibility, credited hours, approval, and expiration are controlled by your agency's official timekeeping record and procedures.
