Employee Handbook

Holidays

The company observes and allows time off with pay for the following holidays:

• New Year’s Day
• Memorial Day
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• Day after Thanksgiving
• Christmas Day

Any additional holidays will be designated by the company at the start of each calendar year.

If one of these holidays falls on a Sunday, it will be observed on the following Monday. If the holiday falls on a Saturday, the company will select either the following Monday or the preceding Friday as a substitute holiday. The company reserves the right to pay eligible employees in lieu of time off if the holiday falls on a Saturday.

Holiday pay. All employees are eligible for holiday pay. Temporary employees, including summer employees and interns, are not eligible for holiday pay.

Holiday pay shall be at the employee’s regular straight-time rate, times his regularly scheduled hours (not to exceed 8 hours).

To receive holiday pay, an eligible nonexempt employee must be at work or taking an approved absence on the workdays immediately preceding and immediately following the day on which the holiday is observed. If an employee is absent on one or both days because of an illness or injury, the company may require verification of the reason for the absence before approving holiday pay.

Religious observances. Employees who need time off to observe religious practices or holidays not already scheduled by the company should speak with their manager. Employees may also be able to switch a scheduled day with another employee, or take vacation time, or take off unpaid days. The company will seek to reasonably accommodate individuals’ religious observances.
