HOLIDAYS
celebrating our culture and traditions
Grant PUD recognizes eleven paid holidays, including three floating holidays.
WHO GET’S holiday pay?
You - if you are a regular full-time, part-time, or limited assignment employee. You must be on pay status either at the end of the work day preceding the holiday or at the beginning of the work day following a holiday.
Holiday pay typically means eight hours, even if you work an alternate work schedule. Part-time, regular employees will be eligible for four hours of holiday pay. Holiday pay differs for employees who work twelve hour rotating shifts.
What are the observed holidays?
Unless you are required to work a regularly scheduled shift, you get to observe the following holidays by taking the day off with pay (eight hours paid):
New Year’s Day
President’s Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Veterans’ Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
What happens when the holiday falls on a weekend?
If a holiday falls on a Sunday, you get to observe the holiday on the following Monday. When a holiday falls on Saturday, you get to observe the holiday on the Friday prior to the holiday.
When do I earn floating holidays?
You earn floating holidays annually, with the first pay period of the year.
New hires earn floating holidays 30 days following the date of hire, if hired before October 1.
Part-time, regular employees will receive twelve hours of floating holiday. Seasonal employees will receive two floating holidays if they work eight months or less; three floating holidays if they work more than eight months in a calendar year.
when can I take floating holidays?
You can take your paid floating holidays anytime during the calendar year to observe holidays that are close to your heart or if you wish to take a day off for other occasions. You must take your floating holidays by the end of the payroll year or you will forfeit your paid floating holidays.
Pursuant to Washington State law, you may take two unpaid holidays per calendar year for a reason of faith or conscience or an organized activity conducted under the auspices of a religious denomination, church, or religious organization.
