🎄 Holiday Pay and Doctor’s Note Reminders 🍁
As we head into the holiday season, here’s a quick refresher on Holiday Pay and Doctor’s Note requirements as outlined in our Contract.
Holiday Pay
[Section 3.L] Flight Attendants receive additional compensation for working or being on duty during the following recognized holidays:
- New Year’s Day (January 1)
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day (December 25)
Pay Details:
- In addition to all other compensation, you’ll receive an extra hour of pay for each credited hour worked on the holiday.
- If you are on duty or away from base with no flying on a holiday, you’ll still receive a minimum of three (3) hours pay/no credit.
[Section 7.I.5] If you are recalled on a holiday, you’ll receive Recall Pay (2x) plus Holiday Pay (1x), for a total of 3x pay for that portion of the grouping.
Doctor’s Note Requirements
[Section 19.G]
A doctor’s note is required for any sick occurrence on the following days:
- Thanksgiving Day
- Three days before and after Christmas Day
Note: Christmas Day itself is not included in the doctor’s note requirement.
A doctor’s note is also required for any absence longer than seven (7) consecutive calendar days.
Important exceptions:
- If you are not on the Sick Leave Monitor Program and have not had a sick occurrence in the previous six (6) months, you are exempt from the holiday doctor’s note requirement.
• The note must be provided upon return to work or within ten (10) calendar days from the first day of your sick occurrence, whichever comes first.
