Office heads may authorize work to be performed on holidays, for which a premium will be paid, up to the statutory limit, to GS and AD pay plan employees. Holiday work for attorneys should be authorized only in the case of a court appearance falling on a holiday.
Holiday pay is charged to the office's overtime budget.
Intermittent employees are not entitled to premium compensation for work performed on holidays. When group dismissals occur because of such a closing, the employees are excused without charge to leave and without loss of pay. United States Attorneys are to advise the Executive Office at least two days before the date of the proposed closing where they believe such closing would be authorized due to a state or local holiday. Normal payment is all that may be paid.
