AL SB410

Confederate Memorial Day and Jefferson Davis' birthday become unpaid holidays unless the Governor designates them as paid holidays at the beginning of each calendar year.

If the Governor does not declare Confederate Memorial Day and Jefferson Davis' birthday as paid holidays, the Governor may designate up to two additional paid holidays during the calendar year.

The total number of paid state holidays for state employees is limited to 13 per calendar year.

State employees working on a state holiday receive one hour of compensatory leave or paid compensation for each hour worked, up to a maximum of 8 hours, with a state holiday defined as an 8-hour day.

The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor.
