An employee must work the working day preceding and succeeding a holiday or be on authorized leave in order to be compensated for a holiday.
(e) No full-time permanent employee shall fail to be paid for a holiday by reason of authorized absence on such day. A full-time permanent hourly paid employee shall be compensated for time worked on the holidays named in subsection (a) hereof at a rate which includes a full pay for the holiday, plus actual hours worked.
(f) Double time and compensatory time-off, as provided in this chapter, shall be allowed only where an employee is required to work on such holiday or its legal observance. Compensatory time-off shall be arranged for and taken by employees only upon approval of their director.
