HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
Currently the City of Pensacola observes 12 holidays and wishes to add the Juneteenth holiday as the 13th on June 19th. Additionally, it was discovered that during the recodification that took place in 2020 President’s Day was inadvertently omitted in the ordinance. This ordinance will rectify that oversight as well.
When a holiday falls on a day within the normal work week, operations will be suspended, and each qualified employee will have the day off with pay. To be eligible for holiday pay, the employee must work (or be in a paid leave status) their last full scheduled day prior to the holiday and their first full scheduled day immediately following the holiday.
When the holiday falls on a Saturday, the City’s official observance will be on Friday, with the above provisions in effect. When the holiday falls on Sunday, Monday will be the day of observance.
This will apply to those non-union employees as well as those employees represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Collective Bargaining Unit, the Police Sergeant’s Collective Bargaining Unit and the Police Lieutenant’s Collective Bargaining Unit. Copies of the Tentative Agreements or Memorandum of Agreements with these three collective bargaining units are attached.
PRIOR ACTION:

September 24, 2020 - City Council adopted Ordinance No. 33-20 adding Good Friday and the Day after Christmas to the listing of Official Holidays.
