The Personal Floating Holiday is awarded on October 1 of each year (it is not accrued). Employees hired after October 1 will be awarded one Personal Floating Holiday if their date of hire is October 1-March 31 and one-half Personal Floating Holiday if their date of hire is April 1-September 30. The Personal Floating Holiday may be used in one full or two half-day increments; does not carryover from year to year; and is not paid out upon termination if not used. The intention of the Personal Floating holiday is to allow employees additional time to prepare for/celebrate holidays of personal significance (e.g., the first Seder of Passover, the eve of Rosh Hashanah and/or the eve of Yom Kippur, Christmas Eve, Good Friday, etc.). The Personal Floating Holiday does not have to be used for this purpose, however. It may be used for any reason and should be requested as any other PTO is requested in the employee’s home department. Requests are granted upon supervisory approval, subject to the needs of the department. Holiday Pay Holidays are observed on the days they fall. Full Time Regular employees are paid for these holidays at their regular rates of pay when the holiday falls during their regularly scheduled workweek. Some departments require employees to work on holidays. Full Time Regular employees in non-exempt positions have two options when required to work on a holiday: 1. The employee works on the holiday and receives an alternate day off with pay. A “day” is defined as the number of hours the employee actually works on the holiday. This entitles the employee to be paid straight time for the hours worked on the holiday and straight time for the same number of hours on the alternate day off. The alternate day off must occur in the same or subsequent pay period as the holiday. 2. The employee works on the holiday and does not take an alternate day off. If this option is selected, the employee is compensated at 1.5 his/her regular rate of pay for the hours worked on the holiday. If the employee’s regular shift is shortened because The J’s hours of operation are shortened, the employee is compensated at 1.5 his/her regular rate of pay for the hours actually worked and at his/her regular rate of pay for any hours he/she would normally work but does not due to shortened hours of operation. Part Time Regular, Seasonal and Temporary employees (non-benefitted) who work on a holiday are compensated at 1.5 their regular rate of pay for the hours worked. .
