Section 3

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version
  1. If an employee is required to work on any of the holidays listed in Article V, Section 9 of this Agreement, the employee shall receive a fifty percent (50%) cash premium for all hours worked on the holiday, and there shall be no deduction from the employee's "holiday leave bank."
  2. If a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the fifty percent (50%) cash premium shall apply only to those employees who are required to work on the Saturday or Sunday holiday. Employees required to work on the Monday or Friday designated by the Employer for holiday observance shall not have any time charged against their "holiday leave bank" as a result of the Saturday or Sunday holiday, but shall not receive premium pay.
  3. With respect to an employee who is scheduled to work on both the Saturday or Sunday holiday and the day designated for observance:
    1. if the employee is required to work on only one of such days, the employee's "holiday leave bank" shall be charged the equivalent of one day. Such employee shall receive the fifty percent (50%) cash premium when required to work on Saturday or Sunday; or
    2. if the employee is required to work on both such days, the employee shall receive the fifty percent (50%) cash premium for all hours worked on the Saturday or Sunday holiday without any charge to the employee's "holiday leave bank."
  4. However, if the employee is required to work on a holiday which falls on the employee's scheduled day off, the employee may choose whether such holiday work is to be compensated by the fifty percent (50%) cash premium without charge to the employee's leave bank, or, if otherwise eligible, by the overtime provisions of Article IV.
  5. An employee shall not receive for the same hours of work both (1) overtime pay and (2) the fifty percent (50%) cash premium without charge to the employee's "holiday leave bank." However, regardless of whether the holiday falls on a regular working day or on a scheduled day off, if the number of hours worked on such holiday exceeds the employee's normal daily tour of duty, all hours of work in excess of such normal daily tour of duty shall be covered by the overtime provisions of Article IV.
  6. Shifts which begin at 11 P.M. or later on the day before the holiday shall be deemed to have been worked entirely on the holiday, and shifts which begin at 11 P.M. or later on the holiday shall be deemed not to have been worked on the holiday.
