Rule 28-305-3.4 - Working on Holidays

Some employees will be required to work on holidays. Non-exempt employees required to work on holidays will be given the choice of compensatory time-off based upon one and one-half times the hours worked on the holiday at a time convenient for them and their supervisor or receiving holiday pay of eight (8) hours at regular compensation in addition to hours worked at their regular rate of pay. In concert with Department of Labor Laws, any overtime that arises from a non-exempt employee working on a holiday must be treated as overtime pay and compensation time cannot be issued. This does not apply to call-outs.
