Union Employees:

Work performed on a legal holiday (not including Christmas) shall be paid at time and one-half the regular rate of pay plus another day off at the regular rate of pay within (9) months, or an additional day's pay, at the option of the Employee, so long as that day is operationally feasible to the department.

- For example, if New Years lands on Saturday, which would mean the legal holiday is celebrated on Friday, no premium would attach to work on Jan 1st but would attach to work performed on Dec31.

Non-Union Employees:

On most holidays where YU is closed, all Admins are expected to take the day off. But, if work has to be done and your Manager allows you to work, then holiday is not paid. Regular hours are inputted with you being able to take another day off in place of the Holiday.
