Definition of Holiday Pay and Qualifiers. (a) Holiday pay will be computed on the basis of the employee's regular straight time hourly rate of pay times eight (8) hours or eight and four-tenths (8.4) hours for each of the holidays identified in 17.01 subject to the employee's assigned shift rotation of eight (8), ten (10) or twelve (12) hours per day. For greater clarity, it is understood the employees working on eight (8) or ten (10) hour shifts shall be credited with holiday pay at the rate of eight (8) hours per holiday with employees working on a twelve (12) hours per day shift rotation being credited with eight and four-tenths (8.4) hours for each such holiday. (b) Because of the nature of the service it is understood that employees who qualify for a holiday shall have the above noted entitlements deposited into a lieu bank from which the employee may draw entitlement upon receiving the approval from their operations supervisor to do so. (c) In order to qualify for holiday pay for any holiday or to qualify for a lieu day an employee must complete their scheduled shift on each of the working days immediately prior to and following the holiday except where absence on one or both of the said qualifying days is due to a satisfactory reason. (d) An employee who was scheduled to work on a holiday and is absent shall not be entitled to holiday pay or to a lieu day to which they would otherwise be entitled unless such absence was due to a satisfactory reason. (e) An employee who qualifies to receive pay for any holiday or a lieu day will not be entitled, in the event of illness, to receive sick pay in addition to holiday pay or a lieu day in respect of the same day.
