The following eight (8) days shall be deemed to be holidays on the dates on which they are observed under the laws of the State of Ohio, unless otherwise des'ignated by the Mayor: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 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 (b.) In lieu of the holidays outlined above, full-time dispatchers shall receive one hundred four (104) hours of holiday time on January lst as compensation for the holidays listed above. This holiday time shall be taken on a day during the calendar year to be picked by the Dispatcher with prior approval by the Chief or the Communications Supervisor, except that the Village retains the right to schedule the use of holiday time on the holidays listed above. Full-time Dispatchers will be able to cash out their holidays at the end of the year in the same manner followed by members of the F.O.P. (c.) Compensation For Holidavs Not Worked: If not required to work on paid holidays, a fiill-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. (d.) Compensation For Holidays Worked: If a full-time employee, other than full-time dispatchers, works on one of the above-designated holidays, he or she shall be compensated at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) times his hourly rate for each hour worked and shall be given compensatory time off equal to the number of hours worked, with such compensatory time off to be first approved by the department head. (For example: A Class B Full-time Skilled Employee in the Service Department earning $19.76 per hour is required to work an 8-hour shift on Christmas Day. He would be compensated at the rate of $29.64 per hour for the 8-hour shift and would also be entitled to 8 hours compensatory time.) Part-time employees who are required to work on a full-day holiday will be compensated at one and one-half (1 '/z) their normal rate of pay for hours worked on the holiday during those hours which full-time employees receive a holiday premium. (e.) Compensation for Holiday During Vacation: If a full-time employee is on vacation during one of the above-designated holidays, that day shall be considered a holiday day off and shall not be counted or compensated as a vacation day. (f.) All full time employees of the Police and Fire Departments who work the majority of a shift on a holiday shall be compensated for the entire shift in accordance with the holiday pay provisions set forth hereinabove.
