Article 10

Attendance and Leave

§10.1 Holiday Scheduling
(a) Assignment of holiday time off shall be made at the times desired by

an employee to the extent practicable in the light of needs of the department
or institution involved to provide the service it is charged to provide. In the

event that more employees request the same holiday time off than can be
reasonably spared for operating reasons, holiday time off will be granted

to such employees who can reasonably be spared, in order of seniority as
de fined in the Seniority Article of this Agreement.

(b) To assist in the scheduling of such holiday time off, departments,
agencies, institutions or other local operating units may establish dates or

periods before each holiday by which or within which an employee must
request specific holiday time off in order to have his or her seniority

considered.
(c) Establishment of such dates or periods shall be worked out in

understandings between such departments, agencies, institutions or other
local operating units and the appropriate designee of CSEA unless they

mutually agree that such dates or periods are unnecessary or undesirable.
Failing agreement on establishing or not establishing such dates or periods,

the establishment of such dates or periods shall be referred by CSEA or the
State to a committee composed of designees of the President of CSEA and

the Director of the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations for the
establishment of such dates or periods for the department, agency,

institution or other local operating unit involved.
§10.2 Holiday Time

(a) An employee who is entitled to time off with pay on days observed as
holidays by the State as an employer shall be granted compensatory time

off when any such holiday falls on a Saturday or pass day; provided,

however, that employees scheduled or directed to work on any such
Saturday or pass day may receive additional compensation in lieu of such
compensatory time off in accordance with Article 7.16 of this Agreement.

The State may designate a day to be observed as a holiday in lieu of such

holiday which falls on Saturday or a pass day.
(b) Compensatory time off in lieu of holidays earned after the effective

date of this Agreement shall be recorded in a separate leave category
