Bill Summary

This bill would require the State to reimburse counties for holiday pay provided to county employees performing a service in aid of State government on certain holidays. Under this bill, a county would compensate a county employee required to work on a county holiday with holiday pay at a rate representing no more than one and one-half times the employee's hourly rate of base salary. The county would provide the holiday pay to its employee in the current fiscal year. In the next fiscal year, the State would reimburse the county for the portion of the holiday pay that exceeds the base salary of the county employee. The county would be eligible for reimbursement if the county employee performed a service in furtherance of a State government service on a day that the county recognizes as a paid holiday, but the State does not recognize as a paid holiday. Counties may list reimbursements provided for in this bill as anticipated revenue in the next year's budget, available for expenditure by the county as and when received in cash during the fiscal year.
