Article 26
Holidays

Section 26.01

When the Employer requires the services of employees on an established holiday, the Employer will provide as much advance notice to the affected employees as possible.

Section 26.02

The Employer is responsible for determining which employees will work on holidays. However, if management determines that the holiday work could be performed just as well by one or more employees, the employee from that group who wishes to do the work and who has the most Federal service will be given the assignment. If no employee in that group wants to do the work, the employee with the least Federal service will be given the assignment. These provisions will not apply when holiday work is frequent. In that case, the assignments will be rotated among the interested employees in the group or, if no one is interested, among all employees in the group.
