Question

How do I view my floating holiday balance and request a floating holiday in Workday?

Answer

According to Minnesota State, employees will not see a Floating Holiday in their leave balances. If your contract/plan indicates you are to receive a floating holiday, you should be able to request it by entering an Absence Request in Workday and using the "Floating Holiday" option. The Floating Holiday must be taken in the fiscal year in which it is earned, or it is lost.

If you'd like to see if you have a Floating Holiday left to use, some paystubs have that information included at the bottom.

To check if your paystub shows it:

  • Log into the Employee Self-Service Portal at https://mn.gov/selfservice
  • Select the Self Service tile.
  • Select the My Pay tile.
  • Select the View Paystub tile.
  • Click the View Paystub button by the "Paycheck Issue Date" you are wanting to view.
