What is the policy regarding holiday pay for employees on Military Leave Without Pay?

The policy regarding holiday pay for employees on Military Leave Without Pay stipulates that these employees shall not receive holiday pay and are also not eligible for the accrual of compensatory time. This means that while employees are on a leave of absence due to military service, they do not receive the financial benefits associated with holidays, which includes any holiday pay that would normally be granted to active employees.

By establishing this policy, the organization ensures that holiday benefits are reserved for those actively working within the department, maintaining a fair distribution of available resources. It clarifies the financial expectations and prevents misunderstandings regarding compensation during periods of military service. Additionally, by not allowing the accrual of compensatory time, it reinforces that time away from work due to military duties does not contribute to the accumulation of earned time off that could be used in the future, aligning with legal and ethical frameworks surrounding military leave.
