(1) As provided in 2-18-603 , MCA, "part-time employees receive holiday benefits on a prorated basis . . ."
(2) Holiday benefits shall be an average of the employee's hours regularly scheduled to work in the pay period. To find the average, the number of hours regularly scheduled to work in a pay period in which the holiday falls shall be divided by 10 (the number of working days in a pay period) . Holiday benefits shall not exceed 8 hours.
(3) If the pay period in which the holiday falls is not characteristic of the employee's regular schedule, the agency has the discretion to approximate the employee's schedule for purposes of determining holiday benefits.

The employee shall receive holiday benefits as provided in this rule and shall be compensated for work performed on a holiday as provided in ARM 2.21.636.
