Absences on a Paid Holiday. Any employee scheduled to work on a holiday, and who does not report for work, shall forfeit his/her holiday pay, unless the absence is due to illness verified by a medical Doctor's certificate, or due to bereavement, in which case the employee will receive holiday pay as stipulated in Clause 16.02 above. For clarification purposes of when a paid holiday begins and ends, the first shift of the day shall be the shift where the majority of hours are completed before 8:00 a.m.
