This bill updates how state employees receive holiday pay by clarifying that employees qualify for holiday benefits if they work at least one shift or use approved paid leave during the week a holiday falls. The bill also specifies that when hourly employees work on a holiday, they receive whichever is greater: eight hours of pay or the actual hours worked, with part-time employees receiving a proportional amount based on their schedule.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
