Henderson Fine Arts Center San Juan College Farmington, New Mexico

This notice is issued to all Navajo Nation Employees who received a subpoena to testify at the Budget and Finance Committee Investigative Hearing!

Please see memo. 

Eastern Regional Business Development Office presents OASIS in the Desert Searing Strategies for small business growth workshops with our Senior Economic Development Specialist ("SEDS").

See flyer for dates.

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.

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.
