  *The Saturday holiday provision is contained in Management 
  Memo 98-023, which provides clarification on how this 
  holiday provision will be administered.
  
  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 your personnel office staff have questions regarding holidays, 
  personal holiday, or Saturday holiday credit provisions, they may 
  contact your department's Personnel Management Technician.
