9.6 Holiday Pay

Full-time employees are entitled to nine (9) paid holidays annually. Full-time employees who are
regularly scheduled to work less than 40 hours per week will receive a prorated amount of holiday
hours based on their normal work schedule.
Should a holiday fall on a Saturday or Sunday, eligible employees will receive either the preceding
Friday or the following Monday off, respectively. In the event a holiday falls within the annual
leave period of an employee, the workday involved will be charged as a holiday.

In the event a regular exempt employee is required to work during a holiday, they should record
the holiday hours and the hours worked. Additionally, those hours may be flexed within that
month.

The 9 nou Systems Holidays are listed below:

• New Year’s Day
• MLK, Jr. Day
• President’s Day
• Memorial Day
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Veterans Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• Christmas Day

9.8 Extended Leave of Absence Without Pay
An employee may be granted an extended leave of absence on a case-by-case basis. The request
for extended leave without pay should be submitted to the employee’s Supervisor. If approved
by the Supervisor, it should be forwarded to the Human Resources Manager. The Human
Resources Manager will submit the request to the President, who has final approval authority on
leaves of absence without pay.

To initiate a request for an extended leave of absence without pay, an employee completes a
Leave of Absence Form and submits this form to his/her Supervisor.

An employee on extended leave of absence without pay will not accrue annual leave during this
period and will not receive any Company contribution toward the expenses for regular benefits
