(a) Each full-time permanent employee in the state service shall be granted time off with pay for any legal holiday. A general worker employed in a position by the Department of Developmental Services as a self-advocate, not to exceed eleven such general workers, shall be granted time off with pay for any legal holiday that falls on a day that the general worker is regularly scheduled to work and provided the pay shall be for the number of hours the general worker would have been scheduled to work. If a legal holiday falls on a Saturday, employees shall be granted equivalent time off on the Friday immediately preceding such Saturday or given another day off in lieu thereof. The Commissioner of Administrative Services may issue regulations governing the granting of holiday time to other employees in the state service, which regulations shall be approved by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management.
(b) Any employee in the state service compensated on an hourly or per diem basis shall be entitled to time off with pay commensurate with any time granted by order of the Governor to salaried employees with pay.
(c) No state employee whose duties are not directly concerned with the business of the General Assembly shall be required to work any legal holiday solely by reason of the convening of the General Assembly on such day.
