An employee who is on leave without pay or absent without pay for that part of his/her scheduled workday immediately preceding or immediately following a holiday that occurs on a regularly scheduled workday for which the employee is not required to work, shall not receive holiday pay for that holiday. This restriction on holiday pay will not apply to an employee who is on leave without pay or absent without pay, if such leave or absence is due to a furlough or other work reduction initiative relating to the mitigation of layoffs.
An employee scheduled to work on a holiday, who fails to report for work on that day shall be deemed to be on absence without pay unless the employee provides evidence of illness by a doctor's certificate. When an employee produces such evidence of illness, sick leave credits, if any, shall be charged for that day and no holiday pay shall be paid or an additional day off granted.
