Effective calendar year 2004, eligible classified employees will earn one (1) additional personal holiday each calendar year in recognition of Veterans Day for a total of 4.5 days (36 hours) of personal holiday prorated according to the percentage of appointment each calendar year, except those employees represented by the Building Trades agreement and those whose 2003-2005 contracts have not yet been settled. These days may be used at any time provided employees receive approval from their immediate supervisor, and must be used in the year in which they are earned. (NOTE: Employees will have until December 31, 2006 to use the additional personal holidays earned for calendar years 2004 & 2005.) Probationary employees who do not pass their six-month evaluation will earn only the annual pro-ration of their personal holidays.
