5-2.    Eligibility

To be eligible to receive holiday pay, a non-exempt employee must work the entire assigned shift before the holiday and the entire assigned shift after the holiday or be on a pre-approved personal leave, pre-approved comp time or pre-assigned Court or Jury Duty.  For the purposes of this section, an entire assigned shift is defined as a minimum of seven hours of work, not to include unpaid meal times.

When it is necessary to maintain regular services requiring an employee to work on an official holiday, such employee shall be compensated by receiving eight (8) hours of pay for the holiday, plus pay for the number of hours actually worked. Any actual hours worked on a holiday will be added to the eight (8) hours for purposes of computing overtime.  Should the employee not show up to work on the holiday as requested, the eight (8) hours of holiday pay would be forfeited, and the employee may be subject to discipline.

In the event that an official holiday is observed during an employee’s pre-approved vacation or personal leave, it shall not be charged against vacation hours or personal leave.

Employees whose day off is on the Village’s observed holiday will receive eight (8) hours of work time to be added into hours worked for the purpose of computing overtime.
