Americare
Holidays
At Americare, we observe six holidays per year. Due to our business
commitments, work activity could be required on a holiday, however, every
attempt will be made to keep such time to a minimum. Our acknowledged
holidays include:
X New Year’s Day (January 1) X Thanksgiving Day (fourth
X Memorial Day (last Monday in Thursday in November)
May) X Christmas Day (December 25)
X 4th of July (the legal holiday) X Personal Day*
X Labor Day (irst Monday in
September)
An employee may be required to work on a given holiday. If an employee
must work on a holiday, they will be provided an alternative day off.
To be eligible for holiday pay, the employee must have worked the last
regularly scheduled day before and the irst regularly scheduled day after
the holiday, unless their absence on either such day has been excused by the
supervisor or the Division Vice President.
If a holiday should fall on a Saturday or Sunday, it will be observed the day
preceding or following the holiday, as designated by management.
No additional time off will be given for oficial holidays which fall during an
employee’s vacation time.
Holiday pay will be calculated based on the regular straight-time rate times
the number of hours the employee would normally work on that day. Holiday
hours do not count as time worked for the purpose of calculating overtime.
If a recognized holiday falls during an eligible employee’s paid absence (e.g.,
vacation, sick leave), holiday pay will be provided instead of the paid time off
beneit which would otherwise have applied.
* You are eligible for holiday pay upon being hired however you are not eligible for a personal day
until you have completed 90 days of employment. It cannot be carried forward from one calendar
year to the next.
