All full-time shelter employees get holidays off, however the shelter still needs to be always staffed. You can substitute a holiday for a different day of the week and then will need to find someone to cover your shift for that day off. For further information, please refer to the Personnel Policy.
25.3 Certain positions must work on the holidays. For positions requiring holiday hours. (e.g., shelter staff) an alternate day can be taken. The alternate day off shall be an eight (8) hour day. The employee shall arrange and obtain written approval for the alternate day off in advance with the director so that service to clients is not interrupted.
