Generally, when a holiday falls on a Saturday, it is observed on the preceding Friday. When the holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed.
Holiday time is not counted as hours worked in the computation of overtime. Full time employees receive eight hours of holiday pay at their regular rate of pay. Holiday pay for part-time employees is prorated based on their regularly scheduled work hours.
