9-month employees - vacation
No vacation leave for 9-month employees (R.C. §325.19(I)): R.C. §325.19(A) does not apply to an
employee of a County Board who works at, or provides transportation services to pupils of, a special education program provided by the County Board, if the employee's employment is based on a school year and the employee is not subject to a contract with the County Board that provides for R.C. §325.19(A) to apply to the employee.

9-month employees - holidays
Not clear: no case law or AG opinion.No exception as with vacation leave. Are 9-month employees full-time employees?
R.C §325.19(J): "Full-time employee" means an employee whose
regular hours of service for a county total forty hours per week, or who renders any other standard of service accepted as full-time.
"Part-time employee" means an employee whose regular hours of service for a county total less than forty hours per week, or who renders any other standard of service accepted as part-time, and whose hours of county service total at least five hundred twenty hours annually.

4 days/10 hour employees
Clearly meet definition of full-time employee.R.C. §325.19(D)(1) requires employees to be paid eight (8) hours of holiday pay, regardless of when the holiday occurs in connection with the employee’s work schedule. Entitled to holiday leave even if falls
on off day.

4 days/10 hour employees - examples
County Board can change the 4/10 employees’ schedules to make them work five (5) eight (8) hour days during the weeks in which holidays occur. Will save money as County Board
will pay the employees for 32 hours worked, plus 8 hours of holiday pay as compared to 40 hours of regular pay pus 8 hours of holiday pay.

4 days/10 hour employees - examples
If employee works Monday-Thursday, and the holiday falls on a Monday, the employee would be off work, receive eight (8) hours of holiday pay, work the remaining three 10-hour days, and would be paid 38 hours of pay for the workweek. In those situations, it might make some
sense to pay the employee an additional two (2) hours of holiday pay so they get paid for forty (40) hours. The County Board is not required to do this, but it could.
