Employees with compressed schedules receive 8 hours of holiday pay and/or compensatory leave, depending on the situation, regardless of their compressed schedule hours.
There are three possible scenarios. These examples are based on a full-time, schedule. Leave and pay are pro-rated for part-time employees. For non-exempt employees with a compressed schedule, they will record 8 hours of holiday leave on their timesheet on the day of the holiday:
- With supervisor approval, the employee can choose to temporarily work a traditional work schedule for the week
• The employee would work 8 hours each day of the week then receive 8 hours of holiday pay on the holiday
- If the employee chooses to continue their compressed schedule and the holiday falls on a day when the employee would normally work:
• The employee needs to account for their full compressed schedule work hours for the day that falls on the holiday
• The employee receives 8 hours of holiday pay
• For the remaining hours, the employee can either make up the hours during the week or take additional leave on the holiday
• For example: If the employee normally works 9 hours on the day of the holiday, they will receive 8 hours of holiday pay and either work an additional hour during the week or take one hour of leave on the day of the holiday
3. If the employee chooses to continue their compressed schedule and the holiday falls on a day when the employee would not normally work:
• The employee will enter 8 hours under compensatory leave earned when they complete their timesheet
• The employee will then have 8 hours of compensatory leave they can use, with supervisor approval, within one year from the pay period in which the hours are accrued (State Policy 3.10)
