Tex.
Gov't Code Section 662.007
Compensatory Time
(a)
A state employee who is required to work on a national or state holiday is entitled to compensatory time off during the 12 months after the holiday if the state employee is entitled to a paid day off from working for a state agency on the holiday under Section 662.005 (Entitlement to Paid Day Off).(b)
A state employee must give reasonable notice of the employee’s intention to use the compensatory time but is not required to say how the compensatory time will be used.(c)
An institution of higher education as defined by Section 61.003 (Definitions), Education Code, may allow an employee who is required to work on a national or state holiday that does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday to take compensatory time off in accordance with this section or may instead pay the employee at the employee’s regular rate of pay for that time if the institution determines that allowing compensatory time off would disrupt normal teaching, research, or other critical functions.
