46 I N D U S T R Y B E N E F I T S Holiday Plan The longshore, clerks' and foremen's agreements recognize 15 holidays, of which 13 are paid holidays. There are five no-work holidays – Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Bloody Thursday, Labor Day and Thanksgiving Day. All no-work holidays are "paid holidays," except for Bloody Thursday. The nine other paid holidays are normal work days, and Lincoln's Birthday is a recognized holiday although it is not a paid holiday. Registrants are eligible to receive a paid holiday benefit provided they (1) have registration status on the date of the paid holiday and (2) have been paid or credited sufficient hours in the previous payroll year to qualify for a basic one-week vacation. To receive a paid holiday benefit, eligible registrants must be available for at least two of the five days, Monday through Friday (exclusive of the holiday), during the payroll week in which the holiday falls. If the registrant was paid sufficient hours in the previous payroll year to qualify for a two-week basic vacation, the availability requirement is waived for paid holidays which are normal work days—i.e., Martin Luther King's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Cesar Chavez's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Harry Bridges' Birthday and Veterans' Day. Those eligible for paid holidays receive pay equivalent to eight hours at the basic straight time rate whether or not they work on the holiday. All registrants who are paid for work hours on a "paid holiday" or on a recognized holiday receive wages for the hours paid at the overtime rate. Holidays recognized by the Agree- ments for 2014 and for the first six months of 2015 are shown to the left. 46 2 0 1 3 A N N U A L R E P O R T HOLIDAY PLAN 2 0 1 4 January 1 New Year's Day 1 20 Martin Luther King's Birthday February 12 Lincoln's Birthday 17 Washington's Birthday March 31 Cesar Chavez's Birthday May 26 Memorial Day July 4 Independence Day 5 Bloody Thursday 1 28 Harry Bridges' Birthday September 1 Labor Day 1 November 11 Veterans' Day 27 Thanksgiving Day 1 December 24 Christmas Eve Day 1 25 Christmas Day 31 New Year's Eve Day 1 2 0 1 5 January 1 New Year's Day 1 19 Martin Luther King's Birthday February 12 Lincoln's Birthday 16 Washington's Birthday March 31 Cesar Chavez's Birthday May 25 Memorial Day Holidays shown in blue are non-paid holidays.
