(a) Definitions.
Holiday shall mean the 24-hour period from midnight to midnight of a day on the annual holiday schedule, unless otherwise specified.
Premium Pay shall mean the hourly amount, as stated in the Salary Ordinance, a full-time, part-time or temporary employee earns in addition to his regular hourly rate, for each hour (or portion thereof) worked on a holiday.
(b) Each year the Mayor shall set a City holiday schedule. Pay for such holidays shall be included in an employee's bi-weekly PTO accrual. Employees are required to use PTO time for holidays they would be scheduled to work but for the holiday. An employee may be required to work on a holiday or may be given the option to work; however, this decision is at the discretion of management. An employee may not choose to work on a holiday because he does not have sufficient PTO accrued or in order to save PTO for another time. Notwithstanding the requirements of §2-40(d)(l)(f-g), a department that is operated and/or may be staffed on a 24/7 basis may allow or require PTO to be used for holidays that fall on an employee's scheduled day off and/or for holidays on which the employee is required to work, in order to ensure adequate staffing at all times.
(c) In addition to their regular pay, full-time, part-time and temporary employees required to work on a holiday shall be eligible for premium pay for each hour (or portion thereof) actually worked, as specified in the annual Salary Ordinance. Regardless of the City's holiday schedule, each employee who works January 1, July 4 or December 25 of any year shall be eligible for premium pay. Employees who are given the option to work, but are not required to work, on a holiday shall not be entitled to premium pay. Department heads and golf course employees are not eligible for premium pay.
(d) Part-time golf course employees shall receive time-and-one-half their regular hourly rate for each hour (or portion thereof) worked on a holiday. Full-time golf course employees shall receive their regular pay only for working on a holiday—they are not eligible for either premium pay or for time-and-one-half.
