(5) Memorial Day;
(6) Labor Day;
(7) Thanksgiving Day;

(B) (1) Since it is impossible for the members of the Police Department to receive holidays off, each member shall receive “holiday incentive” for working any of the holidays listed in division (A) of this section; provided that the police officer has been scheduled to work on that day by his or her supervisor.
(2) The term “HOLIDAY INCENTIVE” shall mean the extra pay a police officer receives for working on one of the holidays listed above. This pay shall be over and above the officer’s regular salary. Holiday incentive shall be determined by the number of hours an officers works on one of the holidays listed in division (A) of this section.
(C) Because members of the Police Department are salaried employees, it is necessary to do a calculation to determine the hourly rate to be used in calculating the holiday incentive each officer shall receive. The officer’s “base hourly rate” multiplied by the number of hours an officer works any shift on a holiday listed in division (A) of this section shall constitute the holiday incentive that the officer receives for working on that day.
(D) The “base hourly rate” is determined by dividing the officer’s annual salary by 13. The quotient of this calculation shall be divided by 171 to determine the base hourly rate.
