before Christmas and one-half (%2) day on the day before New Year's Day; Christmas; and <br />every day proclaimed a City holiday by the Mayor. Except for continuous 24/7 operations, <br />when a day herein listed falls on an employee's regular day off, he/she shall be entitled to a day <br />off in lieu thereof within the calendar year. The day selected shall be subject to approval of the <br />department head. When such day herein listed falls on a Sunday or Saturday, such day off in <br />lieu thereof shall be the Monday following or Friday preceding respectively, except as <br />hereinafter provided and except if Christmas Day or New Year's Day falls on a Sunday or <br />Monday the one-half (%Z) day provision will be applicable the preceding work day. Continuous <br />operations, as designated by the Department Head, will observe the actual holiday for <br />compensation purposes. <br />Each employee represented by the Union shall be entitled to one (1) floating holiday which <br />shall be scheduled at a time mutually convenient to the employee and the department head. The <br />floating holiday must be taken during each calendar year and may not be carried over to another <br />calendar year or converted to pay. Such holiday shall be granted to employees hired on or <br />before September 1 of each calendar year. <br />During the 2010 calendar year, employees will be granted two (2) additional floating holidays <br />to be taken within the 2010 calendar year. These two (2) additional holidays may not be carried <br />over to another year or be converted to pay. These days will be pro-rated to the nearest half-day <br />for individuals working less than the full year. <br />To the extent that operating conditions allow, employees are to be given the day off on the date <br />of the holiday. Where operating conditions require established organized shifts to be regularly <br />manned without regard to holidays, the department head shall designate by list the positions <br />required to be manned. The list of positions so designated shall be subject to approval of the <br />City Manager, and shall be filed with the Human Resources Director and the Finance Director. <br />If an employee holding a position on such a list works an established organized shift on a <br />holiday, the employee shall receive his/her regular pay plus one and one-half (1 %) times <br />his/her regular hourly rate of pay times the hours worked on the holiday. As an alternate, the <br />employee may receive regular pay for the holiday plus compensatory time off at the one and <br />one-half time rate within the calendar year, or with special approval of the department head, <br />within the next succeeding calendar year. The specific date(s) requested to take this time off <br />are subject to the specific approval of the supervisor. When a day herein listed as a holiday <br />falls on a regular day off for an employee holding a position on such a list, such employee shall <br />be entitled to a day off in lieu thereof at a later date within the calendar year or with special <br />approval of the department head within the next succeeding calendar year. Such day off in lieu <br />thereof is subject to approval of the department head as to the day selected. In no event shall an <br />employee be entitled to days off as holidays; days off in lieu thereof; holiday pay, or any <br />combination thereof which exceeds the total number of days set forth as holidays in this rule. <br />The above provisions shall be effective as to any employee transferred to a position designated <br />as required to be manned without regard to holidays on the approved list, and shall cease to be <br />effective as to any employee transferred from such a position, as of the date of transfer. When <br />employment of a person occupying a position on the approved list is terminated, his/her <br />entitlement for the holiday leave shall be prorated on the ratio of time served to the entire <br />calendar year. Final compensation shall be adjusted on the basis of days taken in lieu of <br />holidays as against the entitlement as so calculated. <br />~~ <br />
