103.08 — Holidays
I. Guiding Philosophy
Holidays are provided so that members have the opportunity to relax and celebrate
special events with their family and friends. Recognized holidays and holiday pay are regulated
by the current collective bargaining agreement. We strive to achieve a system of effectively
tracking holiday accruals, scheduling and pay so that we balance the needs of the workforce and
those of the community we serve.
II. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to define the general standards applicable to the accrual and
scheduling of holidays and holiday pay for civil service members.
III. Goals
The goals of this policy are to:
A. Reference holiday accruals for civil service members.
B. Detail the general parameters and regulations related to scheduling of accrued
holidays and holiday pay.
IV. Holiday Accruals
A. Holiday accruals for all civil service members are regulated by Article XIII,
Section I Holidays, Parts A & B of the collective bargaining agreement. Please
refer to the current contract for accrual details.
V. Holiday Pay & Holiday Scheduling
A. Holiday scheduling and pay for civil service members who actually work on
holidays are regulated by Article XIII, Section I Holidays, Part B of the
collective bargaining agreement.
B. Staff Officers and other members working eight-hour or ten-hour shifts (including
members assigned to light duty):
1. Will take holidays as they occur or are observed.
a. Staff Officers (ten-hour personnel) assigned to the
Communications Division are approved to work on a holiday if
needed to meet the minimum staffing requirement in the division
of two (2) persons.
b. Other Staff Officers are approved to work on a holiday if called out
to support emergency operations.
c. Other exceptions must be approved by the Fire Chief.
2. Holidays which occur on a Saturday will be observed on the preceeding
Friday.
Holidays which occur on a Sunday will be observed on the following
Monday.
C. Per the collective bargaining agreement, holidays added to a member's annual
vacation will be scheduled in conjunction with the annual vacation scheduling
process (see R&R 103.01E -Vacation).
1. The Fire Administrator will facilitate notification of the Deputy and
Division Chiefs as to the total number of vacation + added holidays in
conjunction with the annual vacation scheduling process.
2. When vacation schedules are submitted each year, the Fire Administrator
will facilitate an audit of the schedules to insure the correct number of
vacation + holidays have been allocated and scheduled for each individual.
