Payment of Holiday Time. Article VI, Section 4 allows an employee working an actual Holiday to also receive their Holiday accrual as pay, therefore any covered employee working a Holiday (actual) may also use a corresponding number of Holiday hours to receive as pay. If a Holiday occurs on a normal day off (previously Article VI, Section 5) a covered employee may use up to eight (8) hours of accrued Holiday time to receive as pay. In both scenarios, for the purpose of FLSA and overtime, these awards of Holiday pay will not be considered time worked. The decision to receive Holiday time as pay will be in the discretion of the employee. For the purpose of this section, the Holiday (actual) is the twenty-four (24) hour period of the actual holiday. If/when a shift occurs on multiple calendar days, only the portion of the shift occurring on the Holiday (actual) is eligible for this benefit section.
