Floating Holidays In addition to the authorized days in 9.2. each employee, including each academic employee, shall be authorized two (2) floating holidays of his/her choice per fiscal year.
Paid Holidays – Long Weekends (a) When an employee is scheduled to work a weekend where a paid holiday falls on the Monday or the Friday, the Employer shall endeavour to also schedule the employee to work the paid holiday.
(b) When the employee is scheduled off on a weekend where a paid holiday falls on the Monday or the Friday, the Employer shall endeavour to schedule the employee off the paid holiday.
(c) In the event of a scheduling conflict, 12.07 (a) will be the deciding provision.
Weekend Holidays 9.3.1. A full-time employee who works a Monday through Friday schedule and the calendar holiday falls on a Saturday, the employee shall be allowed the preceding day off. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the employee shall be allowed the following day off. If the employee works the day preceding or following such a holiday, he/she shall be given another workday off with pay or shall receive payment for that day at the regular rate.
9.3.2. A full-time employee who works other than a Monday through Friday schedule and who is not scheduled to work on a calendar holiday shall be given at the discretion of the Employer (1) another scheduled workday off with pay, or (2) an additional day's pay at his/her regular rate if funds are available.
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday in the State of New York, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday.
Worked Holidays Employees who are required to work on the above-named holidays shall receive the pay due them for the holiday, plus double their base rate for all hours worked on such holiday, plus shift differential and Cost of Living Adjustment, if applicable, unless the employee starts to work at 10:00 P.M., or thereafter on that day.
Annual Holidays All colleagues covered by this Agreement are entitled to holiday entitlement (inclusive of bank holidays) as set out in the table below. The entitlement is based on a working week of 40 hours across 5 days. Colleagues working other shift patterns will have a pro rata entitlement based on their contracted hours and length of service: Number of Years Service Total Holiday Entitlement in days (inclusive of bank holidays) Holiday Hours based on 40 hour contract In First 2 years’ Service 30 240 After 2 years’ Service 32 256 After 5 years’ Service 34 272 After 15 years’ Service 36 288 The increase in holiday entitlement will be effective from the start of the holiday year (1st April) following the service anniversary. Where a colleague takes a full holiday week, the deduction from their annual leave entitlement will be based on the colleague’s weekly contracted hours. For single day absences, the number of hours deducted from the annual entitlement will be the colleague’s weekly contracted hours divided by the number of contracted days. Holiday entitlement is to be taken in the period 1st April in each year to 31st March in the following year. All holidays must normally be taken within the appropriate holiday year and cannot be carried forward from one year to the next. However, and only in exceptional circumstances, the General Manager may authorise holidays to be carried forward. If a colleague does not book holidays when requested to do so the holidays may be allocated by the manager in order to avoid holiday “congestion” or the colleague losing holiday entitlement. Any occasion when the depot is closed will be counted as a day’s holiday for a colleague scheduled to work and automatically deducted from the annual holiday entitlement. This would normally happen on public holidays such as Christmas day, or in the event of planned closures. The table below provides a broad indication of the amount of holiday that colleagues should aim to take in each period. Depots will review holiday usage against these principles to ensure that holiday is taken by colleagues and there is no congestion at the end of the holiday year. April May June July August September 50% October November December 25% January February March 25% A colleague leaving the Co-op will receive payment in lieu of any holidays accrued but untaken. The Co-op will make the appropriate deductions for any holidays taken in excess of the amount accrued. Holiday Pay is calculated to ensure compliance with the Working Time Regulations: • From April 2020, holiday pay will be calculated based on average earnings over the rolling previous 52 weeks or Basic Salary, whichever is the higher. • If a colleague has less than 52 weeks service, holiday pay will be calculated based on their average earnings over the total number of weeks during which they have been employed by us or their Basic Salary, whichever is the higher. Note: average earnings will include all elements as required by law from time to time. Holidays will not be allocated but will be offered to colleagues on a ‘first come first served’ basis with maximum quotas set for each holiday week relevant to each Depot. As the holiday year runs from the 1st April until the 31st March the weekly quotas will be published at the beginning of February for the following year’s holiday entitlements.
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
