A. Whenever possible, no employee of the City shall be required to work
on a designated public holiday. Said day off shall be full compensation
for said public holiday, except as hereinafter provided. Whenever
any employee, other than a regular commissioned Police Officer or
Police Dispatcher, shall be required to work on a public holiday,
or any part thereof, said employee shall be given compensating time
off.
B. All regular commissioned Police Officers not on an administrative
schedule shall receive no additional monetary compensation for holidays.
Officers not on an administrative schedule shall accrue forty-eight
(48) hours annually in lieu of holiday pay. Twenty-four (24) hours
shall accrue for use on January 1 annually, and the remaining twenty-four
(24) hours shall accrue for use on July 1 annually. Holiday hours
are to be scheduled and used at the discretion of the supervisor,
provided adequate manpower allows and overtime is not used to supplement
the schedule. Department needs, including training and the scheduling
of vacations, shall take precedence over scheduling the use of holiday
hours. If hours are scheduled for holiday use and manpower later becomes
an issue, the officer may be subject to recall to duty with their
holiday hours to be rescheduled. All hours earned during the calendar
year must be taken by December 31 of each year or shall be forfeited.
