12.1 Additional Paid Holidays: Bargaining unit members are entitled to Board designated holidays authorized by Education Code 79022. If the Governor of California or the President of the United States appoints any other day a public fast, thanksgiving, or holiday and it is not a special or limited holiday, then unit members whose work year includes the holiday in question and who were in paid status on the working day immediately before or after the holiday are eligible.

When an employee is requested to work both a holiday and an in-lieu-of day, he/she will be paid the overtime rate for only one (1) day.
