(1) The method used to calculate holiday pay for an employee who works four, 10-hour days, part-time, or in a job share situation may result in the employee's total earnings for the pay period being more or less than normal. Holiday benefits shall not exceed eight hours per holiday.

(a) If the employee would be eligible to receive additional pay due to the holiday, the agency may require the employee to take off an equivalent number of hours without pay in the same workweek to maintain a consistent paycheck.

(b) If the employee would receive less pay than usual, at the agency's discretion, the employee could work additional hours in the same pay period to make up the difference or could take annual leave or accrued compensatory time.

(2) When a transfer between agencies is effective immediately prior to a holiday, the agency to which the employee transfers shall pay for the holiday.
