9.9.4 It is agreed that certain positions or classes within the Police, Payroll and Information Technology Services may be required, due to business necessity, to perform services on Board holidays during the Christmas recess period. The District shall notify the Union by November 1, concerning the positions, classes and individuals affected. Any employee required to work on such holidays shall be compensated at the overtime rate of time and one-half (1.5) in addition to his/her regular salary.
9.9.5 When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the succeeding workday not a holiday shall be deemed to be a holiday in lieu of the day observed. When a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding workday not a holiday shall be deemed to be the holiday in lieu of the day observed.
9.9.6 Should a holiday as enumerated above or any other day designated by the Governing Board as a public holiday occur while an employee is absent from work because of sick leave, vacation, or any other paid leave of absence, the holiday shall be considered as time worked and shall not be deducted from his/her other paid leave of absence.
9.9.7 Employees shall be entitled to the same number of holidays, regardless of whether they work Monday through Friday or some other shift.
9.9.8 An employee required by his/her supervisor to work on a holiday shall receive time and a half in addition to his/her regular day’s pay for work on the holiday. If the employee does work and is paid overtime for working on a holiday, he/she shall not receive an additional day off.
9.9.9 Where a holiday falls on a non-work day for an employee in the classification of Police Services Officer, that employee will be paid time and one-half in addition to regular salary for the first non-holiday workday following the holiday. That day will be designated as the alternate holiday on the employee’s monthly absence report, and he/she shall not receive an additional day off.
9.9.10 Where a holiday falls on a non-work day for a classified employee, the employee will be given time off in-lieu of the holiday at the same ratio as their work schedule bears to full-time employees, within the same pay period (currently calendar month). The in-lieu time off may be before or after the actual holiday. If, due to business reasons, it is not possible to schedule the in-lieu time off within the same pay period, the in-lieu time off may be taken no later than the next pay period (currently calendar month). Such arrangement must be with the concurrence of the employee and the supervisor. The amount of in-lieu time the employee is to be given will be the ratio of the employee’s total work schedule to the hours given a full-time employee. The actual shift hours and/or days the employee works is irrelevant for calculating in-lieu time off.
Example 1 An employee works 50% time (20 hours per week), with shifts of Monday – Thursday 5 hours each day. The employee will be granted 4 hours of holiday in-lieu time for each holiday that falls on a Friday. This is calculated by multiplying the percent of time worked (or FTE) by 8 hours for the holiday. 50% X 8 hours = 4 hours Example 2 – An employee works 60% time (24 hours per week), with shifts of Monday and Friday 8 hours each day, and Tuesday and Wednesday 4 hours each day. The employee will be granted 4.8 hours of holiday in-lieu time for each holiday that falls on a Thursday. This is calculated by multiplying the percent of time worked (or FTE) by 8 hours for the holiday. 60% X 8 hours = 4.8 hours Holiday in-lieu time off may be combined with accrued vacation time to allow for entire shifts off. All holiday in-lieu hours are to be noted on the absence report in the month taken by using the “HL” notation in the appropriate box.
9.9.11 Pay warrants for December will be distributed between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the locations’ business offices on any regular payday which falls on a day designated for close down, or, which falls on a day other than a legal holiday as specified within the Education Code.
9.9.12 Employees in the classification of Police Services Officer will be required to work on any holiday that falls on a regularly scheduled workday. They will be paid time and one-half in addition to regular salary for all holiday work. If two or more officers regularly work the same day and hours (double coverage), one may elect to observe the holiday. The officer with the highest seniority date electing to observe the holiday will be granted holiday leave. Officers will be permitted to arrange for voluntary substitutes for their holiday shifts from the employees employed as Police Services Officers.
