Any holiday falling within the time period is not counted as a working day. An employee’s service credits and health benefits may be affected, depending upon the length of the suspension.

• If Work Week Group E or SE employee receives a suspension penalty, it shall not be for a period of less than five (5) working days, unless the union contract provides otherwise.
