The Holiday Pay benefit is special compensation that is added to the employee’s base salary as listed in the Public Employees Retirement Law: Section 571(a)(5). Holiday Pay special compensation will be reported at the rate it was earned.
All members covered by the Police Management Association Memorandum of Understanding - SECTION 4.00 HOLIDAYS, will also receive twenty (20) hours of Floating Holiday time at the beginning of each fiscal year. The Floating Holiday hours must be used within the fiscal year earned and may not be accumulated or cashed out. These additional twenty (20) Floating Holiday hours are not considered special compensation that is added to the employee’s base salary per Public Employees Retirement Law: Section 571(a)(5).”
