  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, Analyst, within the Personnel Services Branch, 
  Classification and Compensation Division.
