a) Where an employee is required to work that Saturday or Sunday the holiday shall, for that employee, be observed on that Saturday or Sunday and transfer of the observance will not occur.

Only one alternative holiday will be granted in respect of each public holiday.
10.3 In order to maintain essential services, the employer may require an employee to work on a public holiday when the public holiday falls on a day which, but for it being a public holiday, would otherwise be a working day for the employee.
10.4 When employees work on a public holiday as provided above they will be paid at double the ordinary hourly rate of pay (T2) for each hour worked and they shall be granted an alternative holiday. Such alternative holiday shall be taken and paid as specified in the Holidays Act 2003.

In the event of Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day or 2 January falling on either a Saturday or Sunday and a full time employee is rostered off duty on both that day and the weekday to which the observance is transferred, the employee shall only receive one alternative holiday in respect of each public holiday.
b) Part-time employees – Where a part-time employee’s days of work are fixed, the employee shall only be entitled to public holiday provisions if the day would otherwise be a working day for that employee. Where a part-time employee’s days are not fixed, the employee shall be entitled to public holiday provisions if they worked on the day of the week that the public holiday falls more than 40% of the time over the last three months. Payment will be relevant daily pay.

Utilities and Public Access Each Individual Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Individual Property for its respective intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of each Individual Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting such Individual Property (which are connected so as to serve such Individual Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving such Individual Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policies.

Termination prior to a Public Holiday (a) If the Employer terminates the employment of an Employee, the Employer will pay the Employee a day’s ordinary wages for each public holiday prescribed in this Agreement which falls within 10 consecutive calendar days after the date the Employee’s employment is terminated. For clarity, day one is the day after the Employee’s employment was terminated.
(b) Where 2 or more of the holidays fall within a 7 day span, such holidays shall be a ‘group’ of holidays. If the first day of the group of holidays falls within 10 consecutive calendar days after the date the Employee’s employment is terminated, the whole group shall be deemed to fall within the 10 consecutive days, and the Employee will be paid a day’s ordinary wages for each such day. For example, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day (or days in lieu thereof) shall be regarded as a group.

1. The beginning of the scheduled night shift that begins on the calendar holiday, or
2. The beginning of the shift that precedes the calendar holiday. The decision will be the same for all employees in a facility unless there is agreement to do otherwise between the agency and one (1) or more affected employees, or with the Union, which will constitute agreement of the employees.

Part-time employees who were employed before and after the holiday and for a period of at least twelve (12) calendar days during the month (but not including the holiday) will be compensated in cash or compensatory time for the holiday in an amount proportionate to the time in pay status during the month to that required for full-time employment.
