Holidays
Holidays for certified staff are dictated in part by the school calendar. Temporary employees will not receive holiday pay. Part-time employees will receive holiday pay on a prorated basis.
The holidays required for classified staff, by § 20-1-305, MCA, are:
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
- New Year’s Day
- Memorial Day
- State and national election days when the school building is used as a polling place and conduct of school would interfere with the election process
When an employee, as defined above, is required to work any of these holidays, another day shall be granted in lieu of such holiday, unless the employee elects to be paid for the holiday in addition to the employee’s regular pay for all time worked on the holiday.
When one of the above holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the employee may take Monday or Friday off. The employee’s supervisor must approve the choice.
When a holiday occurs during a period in which vacation is being taken by an employee, the holiday will not be charged against the employee’s annual leave.
