ARTICLE VI - Holidays
Par. 1. The following shall be designated as paid holidays:
New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans'
Day, Thanksgiving Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day.
Par. 2. In addition, each local may retain established unpaid
holidays already agreed upon by past procedure or observed by
local building trades councils or declared by State or National
Governments. Any new Federal holidays such as President's Day
and Columbus Day are not to be considered as paid or unpaid
holidays unless previously celebrated by the parties to this
Agreement.
Par. 3. To be eligible for a paid holiday, an employee must
have been on the Company's payroll within the calendar week,
Sunday to Saturday inclusive, previous to the week in which
the holiday occurs. "On the payroll" means that an
employee must have performed actual work or have been on an
authorized paid vacation. If an employee desires to extend his
vacation beyond the earned paid vacation period, such extension
of that time shall not be considered as "on the payroll".
Par. 4. The holiday provisions of this Article shall apply
to all Elevator Constructor Mechanics, Elevator Constructor
Helpers and Elevator Constructor Apprentices engaged in construction,
repair, modernization and contract service work as defined and
covered in this Agreement.
Par. 5. Eligible employees shall be paid for the regular work
day and the paid holidays enumerated in Par. 1 at the regular
straight time rate of the classification worked prior to the
observance of the holiday. The rate of pay for all work performed
on paid holidays shall be at the double time rate in addition
to the holiday pay. Any unpaid holidays observed as provided
in Par. 2 shall be without pay, but if worked shall be double
time rate.
Par. 6. When a paid holiday falls on Saturday, it shall be
observed on Friday. When a paid holiday falls on Sunday, it
shall be observed on Monday.
Par. 7. The Company shall not lay off or terminate an employee
to circumvent holiday pay as provided herein.
Par. 8. Employees who work on a holiday that falls on a Saturday
or Sunday and that holiday is observed on a Friday or Monday,
respectively, shall be paid at the specified overtime rates
for work performed on Saturdays or Sundays. (i.e., if July 4th
falls on Saturday it will be celebrated on Friday, July 3rd.
Work performed on July 3rd will be double time (2X) and work
performed on July 4th will be paid at the specified overtime
rate).
