Holiday Pay

Full-time employees will be paid for holiday hours as follows:

  • If the library is closed for a holiday, employees will receive a day’s pay based on their work week hours; i.e. 35-hour work week would mean holiday pay for 7 hours.
  • If the library is closed for only part of a holiday, employees will receive a day’s pay less hours open; i.e. 35-hour work week with a 7 hour day would mean that closing at 12:00 pm would be 5 hours pay (7 hour day minus the 2 hours open between 10:00 am and 12 pm).
  • If a holiday falls on a Sunday, employees will receive a day’s pay for the observed holiday.
  • As such, full-time employees will receive 7 hours of holiday pay for New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
  • Full-time employees will receive 5 hours of pay for the holidays the library closes early (12:00 pm), which are the day before Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and New Year’s Eve. (Or the equivalent; i.e. closing at 12 pm on Saturday, December 23rd.
  • Full time employees will receive 3 personal days each year.
