Common use of Eligibility for Payment Clause in Contracts

Eligibility for Payment. When any of the following holidays occur on a standard work day on which the Employees would otherwise have worked, the Company will pay each eligible Employee his payroll rate for the number of straight time hours the Employee would otherwise have worked on such paid holiday without requiring the Employee to render service during the period observed. An employee eligible for this payment will have worked his regular scheduled shift upon the last working day preceding such a holiday and his regular scheduled shift upon the first working day succeeding such a holiday. However, payment for this holiday will be made if the Employee worked sometime within sixty (60) days prior to the holiday(s) but is absent on the above days due to death in the immediate family, or has obtained prior written permission from the Management to be absent on those days. The Company will pay the difference between the regular statutory holiday pay and the Weekly Indemnity payment for the statutory holiday if the absence on the holiday(s) was due to a verified illness (i.e.: Employee on Weekly Indemnity benefits), providing the entire duration of illness has not exceeded sixty (60) days at the time of the paid holiday.
