(Entire section replaced with employee handbook language)
(A) All full-time personnel, who are not governed by a collective bargaining agreement which contains a holiday and/or personal days provision, and who are actively working and performing services for the city, shall receive the following paid holidays as set forth in this policy:
New Year's Day | Veterans Day |
Martin Luther King Day | Thanksgiving Day |
Presidents Day | Day after Thanksgiving Day |
Memorial Day | Christmas Day |
Independence Day | Labor Day |
Day preceding or following Christmas | |
(B) The Public Safety Department may have departmental/divisional policies that differ from certain provisions of this policy to better suit their unique schedules. In such a case, those departmental/divisional policies will govern.
(C) Holidays that fall on Saturday will be observed on the previous Friday. Holidays that fall on Sunday will be observed the following Monday.
(D) The City Manager is authorized to declare additional holidays in the event such holidays are established by executive order for federal or state employees or in times of national exigency. Holiday pay for a salaried exempt employee is included in his/her salary for the week. Holiday pay for an hourly non-exempt employee, other than full-time employees of the Fire Division, will be paid at the employee’s regular rate of pay for eight hours per observed holiday. Holiday pay for an employee represented by a union, where the collective bargaining agreement expressly addresses holiday pay, will be governed by that particular holiday pay provision.
(E) Employees on unpaid leave of absence, or other non-pay status, are not eligible for holiday pay during their leave period. An employee scheduled to return from an unpaid leave of absence on the day after a holiday will not be paid for that preceding holiday.
(F) Where the city determines it is necessary for an hourly non-exempt employee to work on any of these holidays, that employee shall be paid at the rate of 1-1/2 times his/her regular rate of pay for all actual hours worked on the holiday. In addition to receiving 1-1/2 times their regular rate of pay for all actual hours worked, hourly non-exempt employees scheduled to work on a paid holiday also will receive eight hours of holiday pay, as set forth above.
(G) All full-time personnel, who are not governed by a collective bargaining agreement which contains a holiday and/or personal days provision, shall be granted three personal emergency days each calendar year. Pay for each personal emergency shall be eight hours of pay at the regular rate of pay for an hourly non-exempt employee and will be included in the salary of a salaried exempt employee.
(H) Personal emergency days for all eligible employees shall not be carried over from year to year. If not used, they are forfeited.
