Holiday Pay Question

Hello Mr. Lunkwitz! I have a question about the holiday pay. More specifically, the breakdown of it. I've heard it's double time, I've heard it's 2.5 times, and then there's OT on the holiday. So my question is what is the rates for the:

Regular 8 hours worked
The holiday pay (The PHPRM)
And is OT still at 1.5 times?

Thank you for all you've done for us! Keep up the great work!

Any word on when the new holiday code will be activated. It’s available on neats but we are not using it yet. This affects retirement pay.

Another Stein question. If our shift starts at 11pm and ends at 7:30am and we call in FMLA on the holiday, do we qualify for UFMHS or UHS? Example, on the 9/4 holiday. I called 9/3 going in 9/4 I called in FMLA and used my own time to cover the sick day. I indeed worked 9/4 11:00pm-12:00am. I was paid out correctly of the 9/4 11:00pm-12:00am the 1 hour holiday pay. Shouldn’t the 9/3 going into 9/4 been a holiday wash? And if not shouldn’t I have been paid out for the holiday since I used my own time to cover the FMLA call in? the excuse I'm getting is that I called in PP06 and that's why I don't qualify for the holiday pay nor UFMHS.

If you put down PDOH and used your sick leave, you should have been paid for PDOH of 7 hours. Then you worked the 1 hour, so it would be 1 hr of PHPRM.

My RDOs are Tuesday and Wednesday. I was told by payroll to use UFSL 8 hour 9/3 going into 9/4 (Labor Day holiday) and on 9/4 (Labor Day holiday) 11:00pm- 12am I was told to use PHPRM. I filed a grievance and have an upcoming meeting with my Lt. And payroll on 11/6/23.

If you used your sick leave for the first 7 hours of the holiday, they owe you 7 hours of pdoh.

That’s correct

This is really frustrating because Payroll at Stein/SNAMHS still insists that their interpretation of the CBA that I get only 7 hours of Holiday Premium Pay (PHPRX) and 1 hour of PDOH instead of 8 hours or one full shift. We also have people assigned to Graveyard (11 pm - 07:30 am) shift that worked on 10/27 and they only approved for 1 hour of Holiday Premium Pay (PHPRX) and 7 hours of PDOH, and not the full shift of 8 hours (PHPRX) like the CBA states. What is your advice how to navigate this issue so that we can put this to rest once and for all? What steps should I take from here?

File grievances immediately. Remedy is to get paid for the full shift in accordance with the contract.

I'm assigned to Graveyard shift at Stein working from 11 pm - 07:30 am (30 minute lunch break). The last Holiday was on 10/27/23. I worked on 10/26 going into 10/27 from 11 pm - 07:30 am. If I understood our CBA correctly on page 42, states that “Holiday pay for Graveyard shift employees who either start their shift on a holiday or end their shift on a holiday will be paid for one shift of holiday compensation for their regular work hours per holiday.” . I should get the full 8 hours of Holiday Premium Pay and not 7 hours right?

I'm a little confused as to why all officers working on holidays are not being paid holiday premium and for all hours worked at holiday premium? There's also confusion when it comes to PSDOT for muster OT?

I addressed muster shift diff today with DHRM. All officers are being paid double time and a half for all hours worked. Holiday premium pay is limited to those whose regularly scheduled shift falls on a holiday. It is limited by statute to your regular shift. All of the scenarios do add up to double time and a half brother.

So I have a meeting next week with the LRU. We will be discussing several points of clarification in the CBA. For now, everyone will get double time and a half for all hours worked on the holiday. That is where it is at the moment. So there would be no overtime on a holiday, just PHPRM. For example you work 16 hours on a holiday it’s PHPRM for 16 hours. If you work your regular shift it’s PHPRM for 8 hours. I will let everyone know as soon as it is clarified at the meeting next week.
