Explanation: |
Under this language, an employee who calls off sick on a holiday will not receive holiday pay and will be charged the appropriate number of hours sick leave. This provision does not apply to an employee who has scheduled sick leave over a holiday. For example, if an employee schedules sick leave over a holiday to have surgery, the employee would receive holiday pay for the holiday, and would be charged sick leave for the other days off. This change is consistent with the change in the OCSEA agreement. |
