Employees who are ineligible for overtime receive only the applicable holiday leave or holiday pay for working on a holiday that falls on a regular day off. An employee who has not been scheduled to work, but is called in to work during his or her regularly scheduled hours of work on a State holiday that is a day other than the employee's regular day off, is guaranteed at least one-half day's holiday pay or holiday leave, as appropriate, regardless of the actual number of hours worked. If the employee works more than one-half day, compensation equals the number of hours worked. Unemployment Insurance State employees are covered by the provisions of New York State Unemployment Insurance Law. Employees who cease working for New York State through no fault of their own may be eligible to receive weekly cash benefits while they look for new jobs.
