Holidays

Ideal gives time off to all employees on the following holidays:

* New Year's Day (January 1)

* Memorial Day (last Monday in May)

* Independence Day (July 4)

* Labor Day (first Monday in September)

* Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday in November)

* Christmas (December 25)

* New Year's Eve (December 31)

Eligible employees will be paid for holiday time off. If you are eligible, your holiday pay will be calculated at your straight-time pay rate as of that holiday multiplied by the number of hours you would normally have worked that day.

Employees in the following employment classifications are eligible for holiday time off with pay once they have completed 90 calendar days of service in one of these classifications:

* Regular full-time employees

* Regular part-time employees

If you are eligible for paid holidays, you must also work both the last scheduled work day immediately before the holiday and the first scheduled day immediately after the holiday.

If a recognized holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, Ideal will allow the employee to take a day off within the following 4 weeks. If the day is not taken within the four (4) weeks following the holiday it will be forfeited. No two (2) Employees will take the same day off. All employees must schedule their day off with the Doctor.

If you are eligible for paid holidays and on the holiday you are on a paid absence, such as vacation or sick leave, you will not receive holiday pay.

If eligible nonexempt employees work on a recognized holiday, they will receive holiday pay plus their wages at their straight-time rate for the hours they worked on the holiday.
