Such time off or compensation allowed in lieu of any holiday shall be fixed and determined by the department or division head of the employee or officer entitled to such holiday, who shall make provision for such holidays in accordance with this section and consistent with the proper administration of their respective departments. Department or division heads shall attempt to schedule part-time employees to minimize days off for holidays throughout the year. Personal day holidays may be used by the employee at his or her discretion, provided the appropriate department or division head approves of the use of such day at least one week in advance.
