announced in advance.
All regular full time and part-time employees who are entitled to PTO, are eligible to be
paid for Company paid Holidays after completing a 90-day waiting period, when the
employee works a fixed schedule. To be eligible for holiday pay, you must be regularly
scheduled to work on the day on which the holiday is observed and must work your
regularly scheduled working days immediately preceding and immediately following
the holiday, unless an absence on either day is approved in advance by your
supervisor. Employees who are on sick leave before or after a holiday must present a
health care provider’s note in order to be paid for the holiday.
If you are required to work on a paid scheduled holiday you will receive the holiday
pay at 8 hours, plus 1-½ times for hours actually worked, all computed at your base
rate of pay. Certain departments may honor an internally designated company holiday
as deemed necessary to manage the business.
