July 4th is a Floating Holiday

July 4 falls on a Saturday this year. For many employees, they are not scheduled to work on Saturdays.

If an employee is regularly scheduled to work on Saturday, July 4, they are able to use the 8.0 hours for time off, otherwise if they work, they will bank the Legal Holiday hours to be used at later date.
