Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and
Veterans Day in some classifications/counties.  Generally, any of
these holidays which fall on a Sunday is celebrated on the following

local may alter certain days of celebration.  If in doubt, please
check with IDOL.

provide such rate, such rate being deemed to exist by reference in
this  document.  If no neighboring county rate applies to the task,
