Procedure on Holiday Leave

PURPOSE

To establish a procedure to be used in recording Holiday Leave which is granted to City employees.

SCOPE

1. Regular employees will be authorized pay for all of the official holidays observed by the City.

2. To be eligible for holiday pay, a regular employee must be in pay status for a full day on the last scheduled workday before and for a full day on the first scheduled workday after the holiday.

3. Temporary employees are not entitled to holiday pay.

PRINCIPLES

The official paid holidays observed by the City are as follows:

Holidays which fall on Saturday will be observed the preceding Friday, and holidays which fall on Sunday will be observed the following Monday.

In addition to the above, all general and Congressional election days will be observed as holidays.

If an official holiday falls on the day off of an employee who has fixed scheduled days off other than Saturday or Sunday, the next scheduled working day will be considered as that employee's official holiday.

They may either be given the next scheduled day after the holiday off with pay or work the day after and be given the holiday pay plus pay for all hours worked in accordance with PPP# 60-30, Procedure on Overtime.

For those employees with days off that are not fixed, such as those working a rotating or irregularly scheduled shifts, if a holiday falls on their day off it will be observed on that day and not the next scheduled working day. They will receive the straight time holiday pay plus time for all hours worked in accordance with PPP# 60-30, Procedure on Overtime.

Employees who do not work on the holiday shall receive straight time for the holiday in addition to pay for all hours worked within that week.

Refuse workers are required to work all days except Christmas Day.

Police Officers working on Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and/or the Fourth of July and/or the respective designed city substitute holiday will be compensated at their regular rate of pay for all hours worked on the actual holiday or substitute holiday.  When a police officer works both the holiday and the subsitute holiday, the Officer will earn overtime pay or the equivalent compensatory time for one of these days.  All hours in excess of the normal workweek are compensated in accordance with Section 60-30.

Union-represented employees and certain designated non-union represented employees shall observe holidays as outlined in the contractual agreement between AFSCME Local 1453 and the City.

RECORDING HOLIDAY LEAVE

1. Union-represented employees will record the payroll code for holiday on the time sheet. A-Scale and Police employees record holidays as regular hours.

2. The supervisor will attest to the holiday by signing the time sheet and forwarding it to the Payroll Division for processing.

NOTE: For recording time worked on holidays by regular employees, see Procedure on Overtime and Overtime Compensation (PPP# 60-30).
