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.
