(B) Except for platoon shift employees, when any of these days fall on Saturday, Sunday or a scheduled day off for the employee, the City Manager shall determine whether the preceding Friday, the following Monday, or which other day shall be observed as the holiday.
(C) Platoon shift employees shall work their regular tour of duty, regardless of the day on which the holiday falls, and shall receive 12.0 hours straight time of pay for such holiday. Such payment shall be made in the pay period following completion of the 28-day work cycle.
(1) For all such full-time employees, except platoon shift employees, the above days shall be considered as days off with pay unless, in the opinion of the department head or his designee, failure to work on such holidays would impair the public service. Hourly employees, except platoon shift employees, who are required to work on a holiday, shall be compensated at the rate of time and one-half for all hours worked in addition to holiday pay.
(2) Payment shall be made for such holiday pay, provided the employee works his or her last scheduled shift preceding the holiday and his or her first scheduled shift following the holiday, or is otherwise excused by the department head or his designee from the scheduled assignments during the holiday week due to sick leave or vacation leave. An employee on sick leave status on a holiday shall receive holiday pay and not sick leave pay for that day.
(3) Except for platoon shift employees, if a holiday occurs during an employee's vacation, the employee shall be entitled to an additional day of vacation to compensate for the holiday.
(4) (a) Platoon shift employees who work a complete shift on a holiday will receive an additional 6.0 hours of straight time pay. Pay will be in addition to the holiday pay of 12.0 hours of straight time provided in division (A)(3) of this section. Such payment shall be made in the pay period following completion of the 28-day work cycle.
