16 Floating Holidays Due to the timing of when certain holidays fall, the City Administrator shall determine if a floating holiday will be awarded in-lieu of a regular holiday when taking into consideration: the day of the week the holiday falls, hours of operation by location (Public Works, Police Department, City Hall), and an employee’s regularly scheduled shift (some employees work five (5) days even though their location is only open four (4) days). Floating Holidays are eight (8) hours and must be used as a full day. Floating holidays shall be used within 365 days AFTER said holidays occur or they will be forfeited. Unused floating holidays shall not be included in any severance computation. Working on a Holiday In the case where a non-exempt employee works on a designated legal holiday, which has been approved by their respective Department Head, the employee shall receive eight (8) hours straight time or eight (8) hours compensatory time off as compensation for the holiday. Exempt employees, who have received prior approval, who work on one (1) of the holidays listed above shall receive eight (8) hours for the holiday and shall receive the employee’s normal straight time pay for those hours worked. Absences and Holiday Pay Holidays which occur during vacation leave or sick leave shall not be charged against said vacation or sick leave but shall be charged against holiday pay. Wages shall not be paid for a holiday to an employee who is on leave of absence without pay the day before the holiday. Temporary and seasonal employees do not receive holiday pay. Section 2.04 Sick Leave Regular full-time and part-time employees averaging 20 hours or more per week are eligible to receive sick leave with pay. Sick leave hours begin accruing on the first day of employment. Employees are eligible to use the sick leave time as it accrues. Probationary employees may make use of sick leave, however, if the sick leave exceeds a total of five (5) working days, the probationary period shall automatically be extended for an equivalent period of time. A. ACCRUAL Sick leave accrues at the rate of eight (8) hours per month unless otherwise established by a collective bargaining agreement. Regular part-time employees eligible for paid leave earn it on a pro-rated basis. While there are no limits imposed upon the actual accrual of sick leave, the number of hours that can be (a) converted annually and (b) contributed via separation into an employee’s Retirement Health Savings Plan (RHSP) shall be capped according to Section 2.10. Sick leave does not accrue during an unpaid leave of absence.
