THANKSGIVING DAY PAID HOLIDAY

Thanksgiving Day is one of the holidays that everyone has to meet the two (2) day availability requirements.  Any person intending to take a vacation during the Thanksgiving week must report the vacation to the Records Clerk in the Records Room in the Dispatch Hall on or before Friday, November 25, 2016 – NO EXCEPTIONS.  Any person not receiving Thanksgiving Day holiday pay because of illness, injury, jury duty, etc. must file a claim on or before Friday, January 6, 2017.

Some paid holiday notes:

• The Thanksgiving Day holiday pay will be paid on Friday, December 2, 2016.

• Vacation must be taken Monday through Friday.

• Two shifts in one day only counts as one day working.  Example:  Work Monday day, double-back Monday night; this is only one day of the requirement.  You have worked two shifts in one day.  

• To be considered available means you cannot pass a job in your skill category or a clerk job.

The Officers of Local 13 wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday!
