2005-2006 POA Contract

Section 25 HOLIDAYS

The following legal holidays shall be observed:
New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day, or any other paid holiday adopted by the University during the course of this agreement. In addition, four (4) paid declared holidays will be granted: the day after Thanksgiving Day, the day preceding Christmas Day, the day preceding New Year's Day, four (4) hours of Good Friday, and four (4) hours of K-day. If the tradition of K-day is dropped during the time this Agreement is in effect, employees will be paid for a four (4) hour declared holiday on a different date, which will assure employees of receiving eighty (80) hours of paid holidays during the fiscal year.
When a holiday falls on a Sunday, it may, at the discretion of the University, be observed on the following Monday, and when a holiday falls on a Saturday, it may, at the discretion of the University, be observed on the preceding Friday.
Each full-time employee, other than an employee on layoff (except as otherwise herein provided) or on any leave of absence, shall receive eight (8) hours pay at his/her hourly rate for the holiday, and four (4) hours pay for the one-half (½) holiday, provided the employee works the scheduled day prior to and the scheduled day following the holiday, unless failure to work on either or both such days is excused because of; 1.) personal sickness or injury as provided in Section 26, 2.) approved vacation, or 3.) other extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the employee which cannot be corrected in time for him/her to meet his/her employment obligation.
Each part-time employee, other than an employee on layoff (except as otherwise herein provided) or on any leave of absence, shall receive prorated holiday pay in proportion to his/her straight-time hours worked in the pay period in which the holiday falls. For calculation purposes, the number of holiday hours in the pay period are multiplied by a fraction, the numerator being the number of hours worked in the pay period, excluding work on the holiday, and the denominator being eighty (80) hours minus the number of holiday hours in the pay period. To be qualified to receive holiday pay, the employee must work his/her last scheduled day prior to and his/her next scheduled day following the holiday, unless failure to work on either or both such days is excused because of; 1.) personal sickness or injury as provided in Section 26, 2.) approved vacation, or 3.) other extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the employee which cannot be corrected in time for him/her to meet his/her employment obligation.
In addition to the holiday pay as provided in Paragraphs B. and C. above, an employee who works on the legal holiday will be paid for the time worked at two and one-half times his/her hourly rate. To the extent that time worked is paid pursuant to this Section, it shall not be considered time worked under Section 11, Paragraphs A. and
Employees working those holidays that are designated as four (4) hours, will be paid one-half (½) their scheduled shift at two and one-half (2½) times his/her hourly rate.
Holidays during vacation or sick leave shall not be charged as vacation or sick leave hours.
Patrol Officers scheduled to work shift #4 and who are requested to schedule any of the holidays off by the Department Head and/or his/her designee, shall be granted holiday pay for the amount of time that they were originally scheduled to work on that day.
