Happy Lunar New Year
2023 is the Year of the Rabbit.
Lunar New Year is not a federal public holiday. However, a new bill signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in 2022 is honoring an important cultural holiday in a new way. AB 2596 recognizes Lunar New Year as an official state holiday.
The UC Asian Pacific Islander Staff Association is currently seeking guidance from leadership on how to report hours. Until further guidance, staff must take personal vacation hours to take time off. You can help spread awareness about Lunar New Year by requesting time off and noting to your supervisor it is specifically to celebrate Lunar New Year.
