  In addition to these holidays, there is one personal holiday per 
  fiscal year for excluded employees.  To be eligible for a personal 
  holiday, an employee must either be:  (a) appointed to a class that 
  requires a probationary period; (b) appointed to an exempt, 
  nonseasonal position for more than six months; or (c) appointed to a 
  Career Executive Assignment for more than six months.  Once eligible 
  employees complete six months of their initial probationary period or 
  six months of service, they are credited with a personal holiday for 
  the current fiscal year.  The personal holiday for all other eligible 
  employees will be credited on the first day of July for each fiscal 
  year.
  
  If personnel office staff have questions regarding the holidays or 
  personal holiday, they may contact Clarice Pace, Personnel Program 
  Technician, within the Personnel Services Branch, Classification and 
  Compensation Division.
