   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 be:  (a)
   appointed to a class which 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 an eligible
   employee completes 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.





   
   Holiday provisions for represented employees covered by
   collective bargaining agreements are authorized in the
   appropriate Memorandum of Understanding.
   
   If your personnel office staff require additional
   information regarding State employee holidays, please have
   them contact the Personnel Management Technician assigned
   to your department by calling (916) 324-0439, Calnet 454-
   0439 and they will be directed accordingly.
