**Employees who do not wish to use
annual leave on December 30 and December 31 may make up the time by
working extra hours during the early part of December. Specific
information will be provided to employees and departments before
December, 2009.
Holidays declared by Governor’s Proclamation will be observed by
departments not involved in patient care activities. Employees who care
for patients and are scheduled to work on these proclaimed holidays will
not receive time-and-a-half pay. However, they will be entitled to the
extra holiday at times that are mutually acceptable to the employee and
his/her supervisor.
When a holiday (except December 25) falls on a Saturday, the
preceding Friday is observed; when December 25 falls on a Saturday, the
following Monday is observed. When a holiday (except December 24) falls
on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed.
All regular salaried and non-student extra help employees are
eligible to receive holiday pay provided they are in paid status the
last scheduled work day before the holiday and the first scheduled work
day after the holiday, in accordance with Arkansas Code Ann.
§1-5-104.
Employees who work less than full-time may take the holiday at a rate
proportionately equal to their time worked. For example, if an employee
works half-time, a holiday would be granted equivalent to four (4)
hours.
