Employees will be given time off and/or overtime pay each year for holidays according to their collective bargaining agreement. The eleven holidays are:

  • New Year’s Day

  • President’s Day

  • Memorial Day

  • Juneteenth

  • Independence Day

  • Labor Day

  • Veteran’s Day

  • Thanksgiving Day

  • Day after Thanksgiving

When an employee is scheduled to work on a holiday but the employee is ill or injured, holiday time will be used.

Effective January 1st, 2015, all employees that are members of the police federation will be given a bank of 80 hours of holiday time on January 1st each year.

Utilization of Holidays by federation members:

  • All “non-essential” employees are expected to be off and marked holiday on their timecard for all paid holidays. In order for a “non-essential” employee to work on a holiday they must have prior approval from their Unit Commander.
  • All employees considered essential and required to work on a holiday (ex. Patrol) will utilize their holiday time as follows:
    • 40 hours of holiday must be used between January 1 – June 30
    • 40 hours of holiday must be used between July 1 – December 31
  • Each employee is expected to know when the 40 hours of holiday time that they are allotted during a given six month period has been reached.
  • Supervisors are expected to monitor the employees they supervise to make sure they are not exceeding their holiday usage.
