This Memorandum serves to inform all Navajo Nation Branches, Divisions, Departments, Offices, Programs, and the public that the Division of Economic Development will be closed from Monday, June 8, through Wednesday, June 10, 2026. 

The Department of Personnel Management issues this memorandum clarifying that while Juneteenth National Independence Day (June 19) is recognized as an observed holiday on the Navajo Nation calendar in acknowledgment of its federal designation and historical significance, it is not a paid holiday for Navajo Nation employees at this time. This is because its inclusion in the NNPPM was never formally approved by the Navajo Nation Council's Health, Education and Human Services Committee (HEHSC).

As a result, employees are required to report to work on June 19 unless on pre-approved leave, no holiday pay code is to be applied in Dayforce, and supervisors are directed not to approve unplanned absences on the basis of paid holiday status. DPM is committed to pursuing the proper legislative process to bring this matter before the HEHSC for formal consideration and, if approved, official amendment to the NNPPM.

This memorandum serves as an announcement of the following upcoming advertised trainings:

• Computer Training

• Progressive Training

• First Aid/CPR/AED Training

• Non-Advertised Training

will close the training registrations on Friday, July 24th 2026, at 5:00pm MST.

The Department of Personnel Management is excited to announce upcoming Dayforce Virtual refresher training opportunities as we prepare for continued go-live activities, including the first-time punch for payroll purposes beginning June 13, 2026.

These trainings will provide important guidance on Dayforce processes, including recruitment, onboarding, compensation changes, salary adjustments, performance evaluations, Dayforce Learning, Employee Benefits, Retirement Services, Payroll, Workers’ Compensation, and other related procedures. Attendance is strongly encouraged, as these sessions will help managers and employees better understand Dayforce, complete required actions, and support daily operations moving forward.

It is Primary Election Day in New Mexico! Pursuant to Navajo Nation Personnel Policies Manual
(“PPM”), Section X(B)(3)(f), Leave Administration: Time Off for Voting, all Navajo Nation Executive
Branch employees that are registered voters in New Mexico, permanent & temporary, are hereby
granted (2) Two Hours of Administrative Leave today, Tuesday, June 2, 2026.

The Office of Navajo Government Development recognizes Treaty Day through this message in observance of the Treaty of 1868.

Treaty Day is an important time to recognize the Navajo Nation’s enduring sovereignty, which was acknowledged through the signing of the Treaty of 1868 on June 1, 1868, between the Navajo people and the United States. This historic agreement recognized the Navajo people as a sovereign nation and acknowledged the aboriginal homelands of the Navajo people.

The Navajo Nation Department of Personnel Management (DPM) is issuing an urgent call to action for all Navajo Nation Executive Branch employees: critical discrepancies have been identified in thousands of employee records within the Dayforce workforce management system, and time is running out to correct them before the next payroll cycle.

Accurate employee address and tax withholding information are not administrative formalities — they are legal requirements that directly govern how each employee is paid and taxed. Without correct records in Dayforce, the Department cannot guarantee accurate payroll processing, proper tax calculations, or timely benefits/retirement administration.

The Navajo Nation Staff Development and Training Department will be conducting a Professional Leadership Development (PLD) Training on June 24, 2026.

Topics include: Communication Strategies, Customer Service, Change Management and building essential Soft Skills. Seats are limited. 

Training Fee: $200.00 per participant plus the 6% Navajo Nation tax. 

Contact, Training Instructor Darren Kenneth for additional details. 

The Department of Personnel Management (DPM) invites Navajo Nation supervisors and managers to attend an upcoming hybrid webinar training focused on the Dayforce Recruitment platform. Managers and Supervisors are encouraged to attend one training session to assist with preparation for the implementation of “Job Requisition Form” submissions and the “Onboarding” processes within the Dayforce Recruitment system.
