3.7.1 Holidays

All full time-employees shall receive normal compensation for the holidays listed:

  • New Year’s Eve

  • New Year’s Day

  • Martin Luther King

  • President’s Day

  • Memorial Day

  • Juneteenth (June 19th) - Approved by LDRL Board July 2021

  • Independence Day

  • Labor Day

  • Veteran’s Day (Nov. 11)

  • Thanksgiving

  • Christmas Eve

  • Christmas

All part-time employees shall receive compensation for these holidays in proportion to the number of hours regularly scheduled to work per week. (Example: Holidays hours paid will be determined by dividing the number of hours scheduled per week by 5 days per week. 20 hours part-time position would earn 4 hours of holiday pay for each holiday.)

If a holiday falls on a Saturday, a floating holiday will be observed. If a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday will be observed as a holiday.

The Libraries will be closed the Saturday previous to the following holidays when they fall on Monday: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Independence Day, and Christmas. These Saturdays, however, are not paid holidays for employees.

Vacation can be used the day before or after a holiday only twice during the calendar year. This applies if a staff member is taking an entire week or just a day.

To receive holiday pay, an otherwise eligible employee must be at work or on an authorized paid absence, on the workdays immediately preceding and immediately following the day on which the holiday is observed. If an employee is absent on one or both of those days because of an illness or injury, the Library reserves the right to verify the reason for the absence before approving holiday pay. (adopted - 02/09/2017)

After completing 15 years of employment, the employee shall receive his/her birthday as a paid holiday.
