fiscal year to the next. Whenever a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday
shall be observed as a holiday. Whenever a holiday falls on a Friday or Saturday, the
—. ---preceding Thursdayshall- be -observed as -the -holiday.-When-a--holiday combination -
occurs (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) where two consecutive days are holidays and
it would result in the City Hall being open to serve the public only 2 days during the
week, only one of the holidays will be observed and the other holiday will become
a floating holiday, except as provided during a Holiday Closure pursuant to Section 38.
For example, for Thanksgiving, Thursday will be observed as the regular holiday;

instance of Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's, employees will have until June 30
to use those floating holidays accrued between Thanksgiving and New Years. Also,

compensatory time off bank, (in effect, compensating at double time and one-half). That
rate of compensation is tallied as follows: The ten hours compensation for the holiday, plus
compensation at time and one-half for the hours actually _worked. This payment at time and
one-half abrogates the employee's right to that holiday.
