Employees May Not Work On The Day They Observe Their Birthday Holiday Or Their Floater Day. Holiday pay shall be allowed to employees who do not work on a statutory or designated holiday provided they work upon their last working day preceding such holiday and upon their first working day following such holiday. When a statutory or designated holiday falls in maintenance employees’ vacation periods, they shall be permitted the option of selecting a lieu day at a date satisfactory to their Department Head or of receiving holiday pay. Operating employees are to receive holiday pay of eight hours at the basic rate if any statutory or designated holiday, other than Birthday and Floater Holidays, falls in their vacation period. When a statutory or designated holiday falls in Divisional Clerks’ and Wheel-Trans Operations Clerks’ vacation periods, they shall be permitted the option of receiving holiday pay or selecting a lieu day. If the lieu day option is exercised, they must advise the Department Head at least ten days prior to their vacation and must select a day acceptable to the department which occurs within 30 calendar days following their vacation. When an employee chooses to take a lieu day under any circumstances, pay for that lieu day is governed by the same rules concerning pay for statutory holidays. The lieu day is, for that employee, in effect a statutory holiday. Employees whose posted off day falls on the day any of the above- named statutory or designated holidays is observed by the Commission shall be paid eight hours at their basic rate if not otherwise disqualified. Holiday pay shall be allowed if employees are absent before or after but not before and after the holiday due to illness, injury (including occupational injury) or if they have been granted approved leave. Medical certificates must be furnished to support absences due to illness or injury. Employees become ineligible for any of the above statutory or designated holidays if they have been absent 30 continuous calendar days or more (excluding vacation) immediately prior to the dates when the statutory or designated holidays are observed by the Commission. Employees on an extended leave of absence, which is an absence in excess of five consecutive work days, are not entitled to statutory or designated holiday pay for a holiday occurring during such absence. Employees are disqualified from receiving holiday pay if they are absent from work without permission immediately prior to or following a statutory or designated holiday.
