(a) All full-time employees of the Village shall be entitled to ninety (90) hours of holiday leave per calendar year, which shall be permitted leave from work for days that would have otherwise been scheduled work days. Said holiday leave may be scheduled at any time during the calendar year, subject to approval by the Department Head. When necessary to maintain the efficient operation of the Village, employee seniority shall be utilized.
(b) All holiday hours for full-time employees are granted January 1 of each calendar year.
(c) Holiday leave shall be taken annually and shall not carry over into the following calendar year. The Village reserves the right to schedule or reschedule designated holiday hours or require employees to work such hours when such action is warranted to meet the safe and efficient needs of the Village.
(d) New employees or employees who terminate their employment for any reason shall be entitled to holiday leave on a pro-rata basis for each full month of service (e.g., an employee who leaves at the end of June has earned one-half of the year’s holiday leave; an employee hired in March shall receive sixty-seven and five-tenths (67.5) hours.
(e) Upon termination for any reason, the employee, or the employee’s estate in the event of death, shall be paid for all granted unused holiday hours remaining in the year of termination. If an employee who terminates employment during a calendar year has used more than the employee’s pro-rata share of holiday leave, that employee shall have deducted from the final paycheck the amount representing the holiday pay used but not yet earned.
(f) The Mayor may reduce any employee’s holiday hours, in the current or any immediately subsequent calendar year, as a disciplinary action, pursuant to the authority to discipline an employee granted by Article IV, Section 5(b) of the Village Charter.
