Bill > SB410

This bill revises how state holidays are observed and compensated for state employees in Alabama. It clarifies that Confederate Memorial Day and Jefferson Davis' birthday are generally unpaid holidays, meaning employees wouldn't receive pay for them unless they use annual leave, but the Governor can designate them as paid holidays. If the Governor chooses not to make these two holidays paid, they can designate up to two other paid holidays, with a maximum of 13 paid state holidays allowed annually for state employees. The bill also changes how employees are compensated for working on a state holiday, requiring one hour of compensatory leave or pay for each hour worked, up to a maximum of eight hours, instead of a full day. A "state holiday" is now defined as an eight-hour day for these purposes.
