SECTION XII - HOLIDAYS Clause Samples
The 'Section XII: Holidays' clause defines the rules and entitlements regarding holidays within the context of the agreement. It typically outlines which days are recognized as official holidays, how these days affect work schedules or deadlines, and whether employees or parties are entitled to time off or additional compensation. For example, it may specify that work is not required on national holidays or detail procedures for rescheduling obligations that fall on such days. This clause ensures clarity and consistency in handling holidays, preventing disputes and misunderstandings about work expectations and rights during these periods.

Holidays observed by the Company will be New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Friday following Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and the day before Christmas.
