The floating holiday must be taken during each calendar year and may not be carried over to another calendar year or converted to pay. Such holiday shall be granted to employees hired on or before September l of each calendar year. During the 2013 calendar year, subject to an agreed upon holiday closure, employees will be granted one (1) additional floating holiday to be taken within the 2013 calendar year. Except for employees excluded from the holiday closure this one (1) additional holiday may not be carried over to another year or be converted to pay. Excluded employees will be allowed to carry over this additional day through the 2014 calendar year. These days will be pro-rated to the nearest half-day for individuals working less than the full year. To the extent that operating conditions allow, employees are to be given the day off on the date of the holiday. Where operating conditions require established organized shifts to be regularly staffed without regard to holidays, the department head shall designate by list the positions required to be staffed. The list of positions so designated shall be subject to approval of the City Manager, and shall be filed with the Human Resources Department and the Finance Director. If an employee holding a position on such a list works an established organized shift on a holiday, the employee shall receive his/her regular pay plus one and one-half (1 ½) times his/her regular hourly rate of pay times the hours worked on the holiday. As an alternate, the employee may receive regular pay for the holiday plus compensatory time off at the one and one-half time rate within the calendar year, or with special approval of the department head, within the next succeeding calendar year. The specific date(s) requested to take this time off are subject to the specific approval of the supervisor. When a day herein listed as a holiday falls on a regular day off for an employee holding a position on such a list, such employee shall be entitled to a day off in lieu thereof at a later date within the calendar year or with special approval of the department head within the next succeeding calendar year. Such day off in lieu thereof is subject to approval of the department head as to the day selected. In no event shall an employee be entitled to days off as holidays; days off in lieu thereof; holiday pay, or any combination thereof which exceeds the total number of days set forth as holidays in this rule. The above provisions shall be effective as to any employee transferred to a position designated as required to be staffed without regard to holidays on the approved list, and shall cease to be effective as to any employee transferred from such a position, as of the date of transfer. When employment of a person occupying a position on the approved list is terminated, his/her entitlement for the holiday leave shall be prorated on the ratio of time served to the entire calendar year. Final compensation shall be adjusted on the basis of days taken in lieu of holidays as against the entitlement as so calculated. The foregoing holiday provisions do not apply to hourly or part-time employees.
