  * When a holiday falls on a Sunday, employees shall be 
  entitled to the following Monday as a holiday with pay.
  
  ** 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 the 
  holidays, personal holiday, or Saturday holiday credit 
  provisions, they may contact your department's Personnel 
  Management Technician within the Classification and Compensation 
  Division at the Department of Personnel Administration.
