Common use of National Days of Mourning Clause in Contracts

National Days of Mourning. When a day of mourning is proclaimed by the President of the United States and the Governor of the State of California, and said day of mourning is observed by the City, the following procedures shall apply: a. Those employees who are released from work on a day of mourning will be compensated in full for this day. b. Those employees required to work on a day of mourning, and those whose day off falls on such a day, will receive an equivalent credit to vacation leave for those hours worked during their normal shift. (Employees on a 24-hour work shift shall receive a maximum credit to vacation leave of twelve (12) hours.) Hours worked in excess of an employee’s normal shift shall be compensated as overtime hours in the normal fashion. c. The department head shall be responsible for determining which employees may be released on a day of mourning. Every effort shall be made to release as many employees as possible consistent with operating requirements so as to minimize the crediting of vacation hours. The provisions of this Section shall apply only to those full-time and part-time employees who are otherwise entitled to receive vacation and holiday benefits.
