M.V. ORDINANCE NO. 90-48 Page 12 and Christmas Day. In addition, the afternoons of Christmas Eve Day and New Year's Eve Day shall also be deemed to be holidays.. A permanent full-time employee shall not be required to work on any of said holidays unless in the opinion of his responsible administrative superior his failure to work would impair the public service. 2. Compensation for Holidays not Worked. If not required to work on said holidays, a full-time employee shall be entitled to receive pay at his regular rate of compensation on such holiday on which he has not worked provided, however, that if any employee without just cause (as determined by the head of his department) fails to report to work on a regularly scheduled work day immediately preceding or immediately following such holiday, he shall not be entitled to compensation for the holiday not worked. If an employee's work schedule is other than Monday through Friday, he shall be entitled to a day's regular pay for a holiday observed on his day off, regardless of the day of the week on which it is observed. 3.
