Technology resources and their use are subject to NC GS 132 Public Records Law and may be monitored, reviewed, and analyzed for business purposes and compliance. The Cabarrus County Technology Appropriate Use Policy describes requirements in detail. Section 10. Searches and Inspections Cabarrus County reserves the right to conduct searches or inspections of property assigned to an employee and their personal belongings whenever a supervisor or manager has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the search will result in evidence of a violation of County policies. Such searches or inspections may include an employee's work area, desk, computer, and assigned vehicles. The employee's supervisor or department head and at least one individual from Human Resources, another department, or others as reasonably necessary will conduct the search or inspection. Section 1. Holidays Article VI. Leaves of Absence The following days and such other days as the Board of County Commissioners may designate are holidays with paid leave (holiday leave) for employees and officers of the County working the basic work week of 40 hours. New Year's Day Martin Luther King, Jr's Birthday Good Friday Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Veteran's Day Thanksgiving Day Day after Thanksgiving Day Christmas - two or three days The County shall observe the same holiday observation schedule as the State of North Carolina for the above holidays. Employees assigned to EMS with a schedule of on duty 29 hours and off duty 48 hours shall have 123 hours off per year in lieu of the regular holidays. Law enforcement officers working a 12 hour shift schedule shall have 92 hours off per year in lieu of the regular holidays. These hours may be adjusted based on the number of recognized holidays in a calendar year or for other reasons. They are normally provided in January as accrued holiday leave to be used throughout the calendar year and do not carry over from year to year. Employees receiving accrued holiday leave who separate from employment during the calendar year are credited with holiday leave for holidays during employment only. Holiday leave taken for holidays not credited must be reimbursed; it shall be deducted from the employee's final compensation or collected from them if not available in their final compensation. Holiday leave credited to full time, part time and temporary employees is based on the number of hours worked during their normal schedule on the day of the week that the holiday or designated holiday falls, not to exceed eight hours. (Exception: Intermittently scheduled employees or employees working as needed, usually part time less than 1000 hours and temporary, are eligible for Holiday pay for the hours worked on the holiday not to exceed eight hours). Full time and part time employees, not on paid leave, must work a full normally scheduled workday before or after the holiday to be eligible for holiday leave. Temporary employees must work a full normally scheduled workday before and after the holiday to be eligible for holiday leave. Employees may wish to be away from work on a certain day for religious observances. Department heads should attempt to arrange the work schedule so that an employee may be granted vacation leave if requested for a religious observance. Vacation leave should be denied only when it would create an emergency condition which cannot be prevented in any other manner.
