                     *  Christmas Eve or Day after Christmas (subject to change annually)

                     *  Christmas Day
                 When a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is usually observed on the preceding
                 Friday or the following Monday.  However, Jones-Hamilton Co. may close on another
                 day or grant compensating time off instead of closing. Holiday observance will be
                 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.
