Personnel Ordinance Updates —Total Rewards <br />January 21, 2025 <br />Section 1. Holidays <br />The County shall observe the same holiday observation schedule as the State of North Carolina <br />for holidays. This includes one "floating holiday" annually that employees can choose as a day <br />of personal significance to them. This day does not roll-over calendar years and is not paid out <br />upon departure from the county. Eligible employees must be active as of January 1 in order to <br />receive the floating holiday. <br />Paid holiday time is provided to eligible employees who are either full time status (9101) or <br />part time working greater than 1,000 hours per year (9102) effective January 1, 2018. All other <br />staff are not afforded paid holiday time but may be scheduled off in accordance with their <br />business unit practice. <br />Full time employees, not on paid leave, must work a full normally scheduled workday before or <br />after the holiday or utilize paid time off to be eligible for holiday leave. <br />Part time (9102) employees will receive holiday time based on their FTE status. For example, a <br />regular .5 FTE would receive 4 hours per holiday. To be eligible, at least one shift must be <br />worked or paid status equivalent to a work shift must be entered in the holiday week to receive <br />holiday pay. This must be in the pay period week the holiday actually occurs (ex. Friday — <br />Monday schedule). <br />Employees may wish to be away from work on a certain day for religious observances. <br />Department heads should attempt to arrange the work schedule so that an employee may be <br />granted vacation leave if requested for a religious observance. <br />Section 31. Personal Leave <br />Full time and part time (9102) employees may qualify for 1 annual day of Personal leave time. <br />The purpose of this day is to support employee's physical, mental and/or emotional well-being <br />for self -care or care of others. While advance notice is always preferred, this time could include <br />more spontaneous needs that are not addressed by other accrual banks of time including <br />preventative wellness, mental health/recovery time and/or immediate family concerns. Time <br />may be taken as either a full day or less but will not be carried over for use on another date. <br />This day will be established on an annual basis and will not carry over or be paid out if not used <br />during the calendar year. Eligible employees must be active as of January 1 in order to receive <br />the personal day. <br />Page 212 <br />
