Catawba recognizes that the summer months are a time that staff can leverage to support a healthy work/life balance. Closing some College offices on Fridays in the summer months allows our staff to accomplish their work activities and project goals while also providing an opportunity for more time for the people and activities they enjoy.

The Holiday Compensation Policy ensures fair and equitable compensation for all Catawba College employees during holiday closures, especially those required to work due to essential responsibilities.
