Employees Who Work on a Holiday
In addition to their holiday pay as indicated above, non-exempt staff who work on a holiday will also be paid for any hours worked on a holiday at their straight time rate, or overtime rate if the hours worked on a holiday result in the employee working more than 40 hours that work week. I.e., non-exempt employees will be paid “double time” for hours worked on a holiday (or two and a half times their regular rate of pay if overtime is involved). Exempt employees who work on a holiday may schedule a compensatory day off with approval of their supervisor. Employees must get advance approval from their supervisors before working on a holiday.
