Last year, President Biden signed a law establishing June 19 as a new federal holiday in acknowledgment of Juneteenth National Independence Day. This year, Juneteenth falls on a Sunday, so most employees will observe the holiday on Monday, June 20, 2022. If June 19, 2022, is part of your normal work schedule, then Sunday is your holiday.

As with all holidays, code your time to Transaction Code 66 with Descriptor Code 21.

Refer to the HRM Leave webpage for how to code your time if you need to work on the holiday or to understand how In-Lieu of holidays work.
