pnb it is a major issue

 

lets take thanksgiving which falls on a thursday

 

with the day before or day after its pretty simple - call out sick on wed or fri and you dont get paid for the holiday

 

now look at it from the point of view of next scheduled work day. an employee works wed, they are on vacation starting the day after thanksgiving and the following week. the monday they are supposed to return to work they call out sick. guess what - they dont get paid for the holiday because they called out on their next scheduled work day.

now imagine the tracking nightmare.

that is why it was sent back to bargaining. saying next scheduled workday opens up a whole big can of worms!!!!!
