floating holiday must be taken during each calendar year and may not be carried over to another calendar year or converted to pay. 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 Police Chief 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 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. When a day herein listed as a holiday falls on a regular day off for an employee holding a position on such list, such employee shall be entitled to a day off in lieu thereof during the succeeding calendar year, or current calendar year with departmental approval according to 10 the same sign-up procedure. 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 an employee transferred from such a position, as of the date of the transfer.

When employment of a person occupying a position on the approved list is terminated, the employee shall receive compensation for holidays accrued in the previous calendar year, but not yet taken, and for only those holidays, which have already occurred in the current calendar year.

An employee assigned to the patrol or traffic division and who is subject to a rotational schedule may receive for any eight (8) hours holiday worked, one and one-half times the straight-time rate of pay or compensatory time off at the one and one-half time rate. The employee may be compensated in payment at the overtime rate for the equivalent of four (4) hours, and the remaining eight (8) hours of holiday time will remain in the holiday account. In the event the employee elects compensatory time off, the accrued time shall be placed in the employee's compensatory time off balance, not to exceed 80 hours. The term "compensatory time" refers to that time earned and accrued by working any overtime or holiday. Effective January 1, 2017 and continuing thereafter, all employees shall receive a 7% holiday pay premium in lieu of holiday overtime pay and accruing holiday time. Holiday-in-lieu pay shall be paid in equal amounts in each pay period. All previously accrued R time shall be exhausted according to existing practice. Employees wishing to take a holiday off must use accrued leaves. Employee requests for time off on a City holiday will be granted for those working assignments other than patrol.
