(b) When a paid holiday occurs, and where the employee's paid holiday bank contains sufficient
hours, the employee will be able to draw from her paid holiday bank the hours required to cover the
paid holiday or paid holiday lieu day. If the employee's paid holiday bank does not contain an amount
sufficient to cover the holiday, the employee may opt to draw from her vacation or overtime banks to
top-up pay for the holiday or take a day off without pay or with partial pay.
(c) Participation in the "paid holiday bank" was determined by a vote of all employees on an agency
by agency basis. Where the unionized employees chose not to participate in the "paid holiday bank" the
part-time employees will receive four point two per cent of straight-time pay instead of a day off with
pay.
(d) For new certifications, the unionized employees will elect whether or not the agency will
participate in the "paid holiday bank" by voting on the option. Once the election is made it is
irreversible.
