The list of positions so designated shall be subject to approval of the City Manager, and shall be filed with the Human Resources Director and the Finance Director. If an employee holding a position on such a list works an established organized shift on a holiday, the employee can receive regular pay plus one and one-half times the 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. Such time off shall be considered compensatory time, subject to the San Leandro Police Department sign-up procedure.
