23.03

A holiday can be substituted before or after it is observed, with the expectation that you will be working the day of the holiday or take the holiday prior to the end of the year (cannot be banked or carried over from one calendar year to the next).

    • Any unused substituted holidays will be lost (including when you leave the company).
    • No payment will be made in lieu of unused holidays or banked substituted holidays.
23.04 Holidays substituted must be used in whole-day increments. You cannot use partial holidays.
23.05 Substituted holidays cannot be used while on vacation, receiving sick leave benefits, on leave, or on salary continuance.
23.06 An employee working on a Company holiday is entitled to receive holiday pay, whether or not they are scheduled to work unless they are absent from work without authorization on the scheduled work day prior to or following such holiday.
23.07 When any of the above holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, which is normally a non scheduled working day for an employee, the following working day(s) shall be observed as the holiday unless the service demands require otherwise.
23.08 Only employees who are mandated to work on a Company holiday shall receive double time for all hours worked in addition to their holiday pay. For clarity, an employee who elects to work on a Company holiday, will not be entitled to overtime and pay differentials.
