In order to accommodate Outfitters who celebrate personal holidays that the company does not formally recognize, Bass Pro Shops provides personal holiday hours for exempt Outfitters. Each exempt Outfitter is entitled to 16 personal holiday hours as of January 1 of each year, or on the first day of employment for new hires.
Personal holiday hours are available to use as soon as they are granted and must be used in eight-hour increments.
Outfitters should request preferred personal holiday time as far in advance as possible; every effort will be made to accommodate the requested time. However, it may be necessary to reschedule due to staffing requirements. Further, we reserve the right to mandate the use of personal holiday time in certain instances, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Unused personal holiday hours will not carry over at the end of each calendar year. Personal holiday hours will be paid at your rate of pay in effect at the time it is taken. Personal holiday hours must be taken to be paid; cash will not be paid in lieu of time off.
Remaining personal holiday hours will be paid out upon termination.

See the Bass Pro Shops Outfitter Handbook for more details.

Regular full-time and part-time Outfitters are eligible for holiday pay. To qualify for holiday pay, eligible non-exempt Outfitters must complete 90 days of employment and must work all of their scheduled hours on the last workday before the holiday and all of their scheduled hours on the first workday after the holiday (unless on approved vacation or your absence is approved by your supervisor).
Full-time Outfitters will receive eight hours of holiday pay at the regular straight-time rate for each paid holiday. Part-time Outfitters will receive four hours of holiday pay at their straight time rate of pay for each paid holiday. Hours used to calculate holiday pay are not considered hours worked for the purpose of computing overtime in the payroll week of the holiday.
Occasionally, it may be vital to our business for you to work on a holiday. Our Outfitters are expected to work if scheduled. Eligible non-exempt Outfitters will be paid one and one-half times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked on a recognized holiday in addition to holiday pay. Hours actually worked on the holiday will be used in the computation of overtime in the payroll week of the holiday.
