TIME AWAY FROM WORK HOLIDAYS The Agency grants a total of 11 paid holidays per calendar year, which includes (8) posted holidays and (3) floating holidays. Posted Holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day following Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. Floating holidays are granted to all employees who have successfully completed the orientation period. Full-time Employees receive pay for holidays as follows:
• Employees in a 40-hour program receive 8 hours of pay per holiday.
• Employees in a 35-hour program receive 7 hours of pay per holiday.
Part-time Employees working at least 17 ½ hours per week receive pay for holidays if the holiday falls on a regularly scheduled day of work. In addition, three (3) floating holidays are granted on a prorated basis depending on the regular program hours as follows:
• Employees in a 40-hour program receive 4 hours of pay per holiday.
• Employees in a 35-hour program receive 3.5 hours of pay per holiday.
Residential employees who are scheduled to work on any of the eight (8) holidays on which Arc of Westchester is closed will be paid for the holiday (at their regular hourly rate) plus their actual hours worked. Full time employees not scheduled to work on a holiday will be paid for the holiday depending on program hours, and cannot, in addition, use their vacation, floating holiday, or personal time. Unused floating holidays may not be carried over from year to year, and will not be paid out at termination.
