(B) Each regular full-time and regular part-time employee is entitled to up to four floating holidays. An employee will be entitled to a floating holiday if the employee is in a regular full- time or regular part-time position in pay status the day before and the day following Lincoln’s Birthday (2/12), Seward’s Day (last Monday in March), Juneteenth National Independence Day (6/19), or Alaska Day (10/18). Floating holidays may be used only on or after the holiday itself, and upon approval of the Department Director. Floating holidays do not accrue past December 31 of the year in which they occur. Hours not used by this date will be cashed out to the employee in the pay period ending December 31. This cash out will be based on the employee’s rate of pay on December 31 and will not be counted as one of the employee’s Personal Leave cash outs. Employees must be employed with the City on December 31 to receive the cash out for unused floating holiday hours. Unused hours are eligible for cash out at the time of employment separation if the holiday itself has passed.
