(a) Each full-time employee shall receive eight hours times his or her regular wage rate per hour for each of the following named holidays, provided that the employee worked his or her last and next scheduled work day. If the employee is unable to work on such scheduled days, a doctor’s excuse shall be provided to the employee’s supervisor in order for the employee to receive holiday pay.
(1) Paid holidays are New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the Friday following Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.
(2) If a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is considered to be the holiday. If a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is considered to be the holiday.
(3) For work performed on a holiday, the employee shall be paid an additional one and one-half times his or her regular hourly wage. Thus, an employee working on a holiday will receive his or her regular hourly wage plus time and one-half his or her regular hourly wage (i.e. two and one-half times his or her rate per hour).
(b) Each full-time employee is entitled to three personal leave days with pay, to be used at the discretion of the employee, with the approval of his or her supervisor. A supervisor must be notified of a personal leave day at least three working days prior to approval or disapproval of such personal leave day.
