When a legal holiday falls on a day an employee is normally not scheduled to work, as in the <br />instance of a four (4) -day work week, the employer will choose the preceding or following <br />workday as the legal holiday. <br />If December 24th falls on a regular working day, the Courthouse shall be closed one-half (1/2) <br />day commencing at noon. If the Courthouse is closed on December 24th, either because it falls <br />on a weekend or because Christmas falls on Saturday, then, in that event, there will be no half- <br />day (1/2) closure on any other date. <br />Unpaid Holidays for Reasons of Faith or Conscience <br />Each employee may select up to two (2) unpaid days per calendar year for a reason of faith or <br />conscience or an organized activity conducted under the auspices of a religious denomination, <br />church, or religious organization. <br />In order to take an unpaid holiday under this section, an employee must receive prior approval <br />of the Department Head/Elected Official. Requests for unpaid holidays shall be granted by the <br />Department Head/Elected Official unless the employee is necessary to maintain public safety or <br />the employee's absence would cause an "undue hardship" as defined in the rule established by <br />Washington's Office of Financial Management. Unpaid Holidays must be used in full day <br />increments and may not be broken into partial days. Unpaid holidays must be used by <br />December 31St or lost. <br />Personal Holiday <br />Each employee may select a day to take as a "Personal Holiday". Personal Holiday time must be <br />used in its entirety at the time of use and will be scheduled with prior approval of the <br />Department Head/Elected Official.
