Consider/take action re: Employee Handbook – Holiday Policies, compensation for holidays worked and overtime hours. Moved by D Yelk, Second by L Updike to approve the following language in the Employee Handbook.
Holiday Policies (amended 2/24/14)
If a holiday does not fall on a regular workday, another workday will be designated as a paid holiday. If a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday would be observed. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday would be observed. If a holiday occurs during a scheduled vacation, the employee is permitted to take an extra day of vacation.
Paid time off for holidays will be counted as hours worked for the purposes of determining whether overtime/comp time is earned. This is accomplished by adjusting the work week hours; regular hours worked (40) minus (8, 16, etc. ) the number of holiday hours for the week. Example: work week (40) – holiday (8) = 32 hour work week – hours worked (45) = 13 hours of overtime for the week or 19.5 hours comptime.
Compensation when required to Work on a Holiday (amended 2/24/14)
If a regular Town of Sun Prairie holiday is worked, the employee will be credited at the ratio of 3 to 1 time for the holiday hours worked. If the holiday hours worked bring the total hours worked in that workweek to more than 40 hours, all hours worked in excess of 40 will be compensated at the overtime rate.
Hourly employees who work on a designated holiday listed above will earn comp time at the ratio of 3 to 1.
An employee may take a religious holiday without pay, with advance notice and approval of their supervisor.
