What are the eligibility requirements for earning holidays?
At the time of a holiday an employee must be in active pay status the last half of the employee’s scheduled work day immediately prior to the holiday and the first half of the employee’s scheduled work day immediately after the holiday. “Active pay status” means that you must either be working or using paid leave to compensate for hours not worked. If the employee uses any type of leave without pay during the times noted above, the holiday will not be earned. This applies to major and minor holidays.
