Holidays
You get seven paid holidays each year.
- Non-Union employees are eligible for holidays immediately after they begin employment.
- Union employees are eligible after completing 90 days of employment. They aren’t eligible for holidays that occur within their first 90 days of employment. For example, if a Union employee is hired May 1, the first paid holiday they’re eligible for is Labor Day.
Employees are paid for holidays according to the number of hours they are scheduled to work, up to a maximum of eight hours.
Observed holidays:
- New Year’s Day
- Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
Observance of a holiday commences with the beginning of the night shift the day prior to the observed holiday. Employees who work in a department or area which regularly operates seven days a week will be scheduled for a substitute day off if they work on the holiday or the holiday falls on their regularly scheduled day off. Please refer to the Holiday Policy HR327 for more details.
Departments or areas which regularly operate Monday through Friday will observe holidays which fall on Saturday on the preceding Friday, and holidays which fall on a Sunday the following Monday. Additionally, if an employee normally works Monday through Friday in a department that operates seven days a week, the employee will observe the holiday according to aforementioned policy. Represented employees should refer to the Local 1199E Agreement regarding holidays. If you have any questions regarding the holiday schedule, please contact the HR Support Center at 443-997-5400.
