ARTICLE 11 HOLIDAYS R2022
Article 11 Holidays[edit]
Section 11.1 Holiday[edit]
The following eleven (11) [ten (10)] days shall be considered holidays for full-time
employees and part-time regular schedule employees, hereinafter referred to in this
Article as “employees”:
- New Year's Day
- Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday
- Washington's Birthday (Presidents' Day)
- Memorial Day
- Juneteenth National Independence Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Columbus Day
- Veterans' Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
Explanation:
The proposed change adds Juneteenth as a holiday for full time and part
time regulars, in accordance with Juneteenth National Independence Day
Act signed by President Biden and guidelines previously issued by the
USPS Deputy Postmaster General. This agreement also recognizes the
alternative notation of Washington’s Birthday as President’s Day. Finally,
the addition of “employees” to the first sentence makes clear that these
holidays apply to both full time regular and also full-time flexible employees
created under the new MHA auto conversion MOU.
Section 11.7 Holiday Part Time Schedule[edit]
A part-time flexible schedule employee shall not receive holiday pay as such. The
employee shall be compensated for the eleven (11) [ten (10)] holidays by basing the
employee's regular straight time hourly rate on the employee's annual rate divided by
1,992 [2,000] hours. For work performed on December 25, a part-time flexible
schedule employee shall be paid in addition to the employee's regular straight time
hourly rate, one-half(½) times the employee's regular straight time hourly rate for each
hour worked up to eight (8) hours.
Explanation:
For PTF employees, the change from 10 to 11 holidays and the change
from 2000 to 1992 hours reflects the addition of Juneteenth as a holiday.
