Union-Observed Holidays:
- New Year's Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Veteran's Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
Whenever the recognized legal holidays fall on Sunday, they shall be observed on the following day.
No work shall be done Saturday, Sunday, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day or before starting time or after quitting time without getting permission from the Secretary-Treasurer of the Union.
Any approved work performed on a Sunday or on the following holidays: New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, shall also be considered overtime work for which the Employee shall be paid twice the amount of his or her regular hourly wage rate for each hour or fraction thereof worked on any such day.
Make-Up Days
Work performed by an Employee on a non-holiday Saturday, except as hereinafter provided, or at night or before or after regular working hours on a non-holiday weekday, shall be considered overtime work, for which Employees working during such time shall be paid at the rate of one and one-half times their regular hourly wage rate for each hour or fraction thereof, worked during such time.
However, if during a work week as defined above in December, January, February, March, or April a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday on a particular job is lost in its entirety (i.e., no work performed by any employees covered by this Agreement) due to inclement weather, then the non-holiday Saturday occurring during that work week may be used as a make-up day on that job; or if during a work week in December, January, February, March, or April a Monday or Tuesday on a particular job is lost in its entirety due to inclement weather, then the non-holiday Saturday of the following work week may be used as a make-up day on that job if, but only if, the Employer notifies the Union of the intent to use a Saturday as a make-up day not later than 12:00 noon the preceding Friday by e-mail, fax or telephone. Weather permitting, the Saturday make-up day will be 8 hours. Where work in its entirety during a particular work week in December, January, February, March, or April is lost on a particular job for two or more days due to inclement weather, only one Saturday (either during that work week or during the following work week as the circumstances warrant) may be used as a make-up day. Thus, no banking of lost days is permitted. Provided that proper notice has been given and other requirements met, work performed on make-up, non-holiday Saturdays shall be compensated at $5.00 per hour above the normal wage rate for commercial work, and $2.50 per hour above the normal wage rate for residential work. (Residential work shall be defined as work on single-family dwellings and residential multi-family dwellings of a single story and up to four units only.)
The special rate for qualified make-up non-holiday Saturday work shall apply only to Employees who worked on the job within the seven calendar days immediately preceding the make-up Saturday, except that if there are insufficient volunteers from the crew of the Employees who worked on the job within the prior seven calendar days, then Employees from the Employer’s other crews may volunteer for this work. All employees on the job will receive the same rate of pay. No Employee shall be forced to work a make-up Saturday and shall not be disciplined or discriminated against for declining to do so.
For residential work, as defined in this Section, make-up days may be utilized from January to December. However, residential make-up days will be subject to all other conditions and limitations as set forth in this Section.
