In order to equalize the statutory holiday benefit between employees working the 4-6 shift (12 hours) and the day worker, eight (8) additional hours’ pay per year at the regular rate of pay shall be paid in the last pay prior to Christmas each year (such hours shall be included as pensionable earnings). For the purposes of this Agreement, the statutory holiday benefit as provided herein shall, as of the date of this Agreement, be deemed to be equal between those employees on the 4-6 (12 hour) shift and the day worker. Shift workers may request to have a maximum of two (2) days off each year instead of Holiday payment for two (2) previously worked Statutory Holidays. The Supervisor may grant this time off provided a replacement is not required. With reference to the half-day Christmas Eve Statutory Holiday, those shift workers on twelve (12) hour shifts - between the hours of 1200 hours to 2400 hours on December 24th will receive the holiday credit for time actually worked. Notwithstanding 11.1 (2) above, all shift workers who are working on regular shift shall be paid double the regular rate of pay for the time worked on any of the holidays set forth in 11.1 (1). Such holidays will be observed on the actual calendar day.
