Part-time Benefited Employees
Holidays for part-time benefited employees is prorated based on budgeted hours at the time of the holiday. A work week is considered five days. Proration amount is calculated by dividing the budgeted weekly hours by five days. For example, an employee who is budgeted at 20 hours per week would calculate their holiday pay as follows: 20 hours per week divided by five days equals four hours of holiday pay.
Full-time Employees
Requests for time off on holidays when the library is open is subject to the approval of the employee's supervisor. In all cases, compensatory time, at straight time, may be taken in half (3.75 hours) or full day (7.5 hours) increments.
Full time employees who work on a paid holiday may take compensatory time, as follows:
- Martin Luther King Day and Presidents Day and Juneteenth: anytime within a three-month period following the holiday.
- Veterans Day: following the holiday and no later than December 31.
If a full-time employee's regular day off falls on a paid holiday, compensatory time may be taken within three months following the holiday or no later than December 31 (whichever date occurs first), or on the immediately preceding scheduled workday.
When Christmas Eve or Christmas Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, full-time employees may take compensatory time anytime from November 1 through December 31 that calendar year.
Full-time employees may request to use two Observance Days anytime during the calendar year.
