A. Option 1 - Employees can use their twelve (12) eight (8) hour holidays, i.e., ninety- <br />six (96) holiday hours during the calendar year by scheduling it as time off. If this <br />option is chosen, the following provisions apply: <br />1. The employee will not be cashed out for any of the ninety-six (96) holiday <br />hours at the end of the year if any of the hours are not used. <br />2. If an employee leaves City employment during the year and has not used all <br />of the holiday hours earned during the year at the date of separation the <br />remaining holiday hours earned to date will be paid to the employee on their <br />final check. This pay will not be reported to CalPERS as Special <br />Compensation. <br />3. If an employee leaves City employment during the year and has used more <br />holiday hours in the calendar year than they have earned as of that date, they <br />must pay the City the cash value for such used but unearned holiday time <br />off benefits prior to or at the time of separation. <br />4. Employees can use holiday leave in increments as small as one-half (1/2) <br />hour with fractional usage rounded upward to the next higher multiple of <br />one-half (1 /2) hour. <br />B. Option 2 — Employees may make an irrevocable election to receive holiday pay in <br />lieu (paid at the regular rate of pay at straight time) of time off for the holiday. If <br />this option is chosen, employees must submit their irrevocable election by <br />December 15 of each calendar year to the Police Department Human Resources <br />Division who will then forward it to City Payroll. <br />Employees will receive eight (8) hours of holiday pay in lieu for each holiday. The <br />employee will receive the pay on the payday following when each of the twelve <br />(12) holidays occur. If this option is chosen, the parties agree that to the extent <br />permitted by law, this holiday pay in lieu is special compensation and shall be <br />reported to CalPERS pursuant to Title 2 CCR, Section 571(a)(5) and 571.1(b)(4) <br />Holiday Pay. <br />An employee who does not irrevocably elect option 2 by December 15 of the <br />previous calendar year will receive holidays per Option 1. <br />9.3 All employees must actually work at least one (1) day preceding the day a holiday listed in <br />Section 9.1, actually occurs in order to receive credit for such holiday. The employee will <br />then be credited with all remaining holidays in the year occurring after the appointment. <br />An employee separating from the service of the City must actually work at least one (1) <br />day following the day a holiday listed in Section 9.1, actually occurs in order to receive <br />credit for that holiday. <br />34 <br />
