Holiday Pay During Absence From Work. If any employee is absent on their scheduled working day immediately prior to, or following a statutory holiday, no statutory premium will be made for the statutory holiday unless the absence is covered by a medical certificate or unless prior permission has been received. If a statutory holiday or designated lieu day falls during a period of approved sick leave, the employee will receive only their regular S&A benefit for that day. Employees who work their regularly scheduled shift on the holiday will receive premium pay and will not be required to produce proof of illness where the employee is absent the working day before/or the working day after the holiday.
