Section 2.
Full‑time employees, who are in pay status at least one-half (1/2) of the last workday before the holiday and one-half (1/2) of the first workday after the holiday, shall be compensated at the straight time rate for eight (8) hours for each recognized holiday listed in Section 1 provided the employee works thirty‑two (32) hours or more within the month.  All part‑time employees who are in pay status at least one-half (1/2) of the last workday before the holiday and one-half (1/2) of the first workday after the holiday shall be compensated at the straight time rate on a pro rata basis for each recognized holiday during a month in which the employee works thirty‑two (32) hours or more.  This holiday compensation is called holiday pay.  Recognized holidays which occur during paid vacation or paid sick leave will be charged as a holiday rather than vacation or sick leave.

Section 4.
In addition to the holidays specified in this Article, all full‑time employees shall receive eight (8) hours of paid leave.  Part‑time employees will receive prorated paid leave.  This paid leave shall be accrued by all employees employed on November 1 of each year.
Employees may request the option of using the eight (8) hours of paid leave on the workday before or after Christmas, the workday before or after New Year's Day, or the work day before or after Thanksgiving the same year, or when these days are not available to an employee, on another day of the employee's choice provided such time is taken off on or before January 3 of the following year.
