Pay for holidays will be calculated based on the employee’s hourly wage. Only regular
full-time employees are eligible for holiday pay.
If a recognized holiday falls during an eligible employee’s paid vacation period, holiday
pay will be provided instead of the vacation benefit being applied.
If an eligible employee works on a recognized holiday, he or she will receive 8 hours of
holiday pay, plus wages for the number of hours worked on the holiday.
Paid time off for holidays will be considered as time worked for the purpose of
determining and computing overtime pay.
If you are on a Medical Leave of Absence or Family Medical Leave you will not be
eligible to receive holiday pay.
