(a) Paid Holidays. The holidays listed in subsection (b) below, shall be official holidays of the Village. All full-time employees paid on an hourly basis shall be paid for those holidays. Part-time employees shall not receive paid holidays. All Village offices shall be closed, provided that essential services for emergency water repair, emergency sewer repair, emergency street and street lighting repair, and all other emergency services shall continue. The department heads shall schedule assignments for emergency service, subject to change by the Mayor. Police services shall continue on all holidays. To receive pay for an unworked holiday, employees must work the last scheduled departmental work day preceding and the first departmental scheduled work day following said holiday. Holiday pay shall be limited to the regular scheduled hours of the normal work day for the unworked holiday and shall be counted as time worked for the purpose of computing weekly overtime pay. Whenever it is necessary for a full-time employee to work on a holiday, he or she shall be paid for the holiday, and also he or she shall be entitled to additional holiday pay at one and a half times (1.5) the usual rate for the position. Thus, by way of example, an employee working an eight (8) hour day on a holiday shall be paid for the equivalent of twenty (20) hours. Part-time employees working on Village holidays shall be paid at their normal rate of pay.
