Non-union administrative staff working in offices which are required to be open on a holiday or administrative leave day will be given a day off for each day worked, to be scheduled by mutual agreement between the direct supervisor and the employee during the year.
Should a union member be required to work on a designated holiday, the pay will be in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement in effect at that time.
Union members and administrative hourly staff shall not be eligible for holiday pay unless they have worked their scheduled work day immediately before and immediately after the holiday, except in cases of pre-approved vacation or personal time off, a demonstrated illness, or other emergency not permitting such work.
Holidays may not be carried over from year to year.
