Holidays

Holidays (Calendar, Eligibility, Credit and Use Deadlines)

  • All Classified and Professional Workers: Workday defaults a University holiday as “time worked.” Most workers have the holiday off. For workers that did not work on the holiday, workers need to enter “Holiday Taken Time Off” into Workday on the holiday. (Note: Do not use Holiday Credit Time Off).
  • There are some exceptions:
    1. If you worked on the holiday: Code your time in Workday as regular hours worked. No additional action needed.
    2. If the holiday was already your scheduled day off (you worked your full week’s hours independent of the holiday): No additional action needed. Holiday credit will remain with your leave balances.

Information for Supervisors:

Foreign Nationals

Foreign Nationals must obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) and card prior to beginning employment at the UW, per UW policy. There is a Social Security Administration office near UW Bothell located at 18905 33rd Avenue West, #207, Lynnwood, WA 98036.

Visit the UW Bothell International Student Services’s page on social security numbers.

All Foreign National employees are entered into Glacier – a Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance Software for UW Employees

This is a secure web-based system that enables the foreign national student, staff, or faculty member to track their visa, passport, entry dates, country of residence, country of citizenship, US address, foreign address, Social Security number or ITIN. Based on this information University of Washington is able to know if the individual is eligible for any tax treaties, has passed a substantial presence test, or has become a “tax resident for tax purposes.” When a record is created by the employee, Glacier generates a tax summary page and populates the appropriate tax forms. Examples of these forms are the 8233, W-8Ben, and W-4 federal withholding form.

The respective Payroll Coordinator/Administrator enters the Foreign National employee into Glacier. Glacier will prompt the employee directly to access their account.

Glacier access for employees

As well as the help option contacts inside Glacier, you can contact a Foreign National Specialist.
