When an unrepresented employee required by his/her responsible administrative authority to work on a holiday the following provisions will apply:
- Administrative contract employees. When an unclassified contract employee is required to be present for duty on a day otherwise recognized as a legal holiday, that employee may take a compensatory day off at a time mutually agreed upon by the employee and his/her supervisor. Under no circumstances will an administrative contract or professional appointee receive additional pay for a holiday upon which he/she is required to perform services.
- Classified employees. A full-time employee, regardless of his/her work shift or schedule, is automatically entitled to holiday pay for the number of hours he/she is normally scheduled to work at his/her regular rate of pay. A part-time employee is entitled to holiday pay for that number of hours for which he/she would normally have been scheduled to work.
- Holidays during leave.
- If a holiday occurs during a period of paid sick or vacation leave, the employee will draw normal holiday pay and will not be charged for sick leave or vacation.
- An employee must be in active pay status for the entire scheduled work day immediately preceding the holiday to receive holiday compensation.
- A full-time employee with a work schedule other than Monday through Friday is entitled to eight hours of pay for any holiday observed on his/her day off.
