(a) Full-time and part-time employees in fixed workweek titles shall be entitled to overtime compensation in addition to their regular rate of compensation for all work performed on a holiday, except as provided in (d) below, even if they are not in pay status for a full workweek.

(b) Employees in non-limited titles are not entitled to overtime compensation for work performed on a holiday, except as provided in N.J.A.C. 4A:3-5.6.

(c) The following shall govern overtime compensation for full-time and part-time employees in fixed workweek titles who are employed in a seven day coverage operation:

2. If a holiday occurs on a regular day off, an employee shall be given an additional day off in the same workweek. If, as a result of an emergency, the employee is required to work on the additional day, he or she shall be entitled to overtime compensation for all work performed on the additional day.

3. If a holiday occurs on a regular workday of an employee and the employee does not report for duty, he or she shall not be eligible for overtime compensation or an alternate day off for that holiday.

If the employee is required to work on the specified personal preference day, she or he shall be entitled to overtime compensation for all hours worked on the personal preference day as if that day were the holiday.
