Each payroll calendar year eligible employees will be credited with floating holidays at the rate of 24 (twenty-four) hours for each 40-hour employee per year. Employees not in a pay status at the beginning of the payroll calendar year will not be credited with floating holidays until their return to work. In such cases, floating holidays will be prorated for the year once the employee returns to work. New employees who join the City after the start of the calendar year will receive floating holidays on a prorated basis. Floating holidays are not cumulative and must be taken in the same year it is credited. 15.3 Jury Leave Each regular or probationary employee of the Department who is required to serve as a trial juror is entitled to be absent from his/her duties with the Department during the "period" of such service or while necessarily being in court as the result of such a call.

The employee is allowed his or her regular salary provided the employee compensates the Department for any fees received for service other than travel pay. If the employee does not compensate the Department for such fees,the salary shall be lowered by the amount of such fees. For the purposes of this section: "Period" shall mean that period of time from the moment the employee is chosen as a juror until he/she is dismissed by the judge. 20
