We don't get paid for holidays unless we work them. I was told this policy kicked in back in November. Before, we could take vacation for each day we took.Because the other 2 days are paid holidays?

My new year resolution: Make time to come shoot with ya'll. It'll be happening very soonBetter get some extra for range days.
If you have more than the limit, the company buys it back from you. At full value. One last payday from 2018.

Someone always ruins it for everyone elseI've almost got the opposite problem. I usually end up with more vacation than I can use. We used to be able to give it to other employees, then people started abusing it by selling vacation days to others under the table.
Let me get this straight, you use 40 hours of vacation time and they only pay you 36 hours? Unless there is a contract stating that you agree to that, that sounds illegal. Everywhere I have worked, you get paid for the amount of leave you use, whether it's 16 hours or 40 hours, that's what I got paid for.Tell me something, is it normal for a job to regulate how much your paid with your own vacation hours? Apparently I'm only allowed to take 36 hours for each week I'm gone.
In Colorado, I could use my hard earned vacation hours for the exact days I took off.

It makes sense to me. The day before the holiday and they day after the holiday aren't the holiday. Why should they get holiday pay?I'm not sure how they justify paying holiday pay only if you work the holiday, that doesn't make sense.
I was explaining how I was paid holiday pay. If you are in a paid status the day before or after a holiday you should be paid holiday pay whether you work the holiday or not. Some places pay you regular pay on top of holiday pay if you work it, others may pay you overtime on top of holiday pay. Never worked for a place that offered holiday pay only if you work it.It makes sense to me. The day before the holiday and they day after the holiday aren't the holiday.

My former employer had lots of "differentials", i.e. pay rate multipliers used during times people didn't want to work. There was a night differential, a weekend differential, a holiday differential, etc. Adding up all the differentials, working overtime all night on a weekend during a holiday would be...uh...lessee...base pay X 2.7. I think.
I don't know for sure because I was always allergic to working nights and holidays.
As for paying people for 36 hours when they take 40 hours of supposedly paid vacation, all I can say is "Get a rope!"
Well, where I work they only allow holiday pay IF you work that day.I was explaining how I was paid holiday pay. If you are in a paid status the day before or after a holiday you should be paid holiday pay whether you work the holiday or not. Some places pay you regular pay on top of holiday pay if you work it, others may pay you overtime on top of holiday pay. Never worked for a place that only offered holiday pay only if you work it.
Thats interesting because thats contradictory to the very definition of Holiday Pay.Well, where I work they only allow holiday pay IF you work that day.
I've worked here 2 years now and if I didn't work a holiday, I didn't get it. When I do work a holiday, it's great.Thats interesting because thats contradictory to the very definition of Holiday Pay.
Ah! I misunderstood.I was explaining how I was paid holiday pay. If you are in a paid status the day before or after a holiday you should be paid holiday pay whether you work the holiday or not. Some places pay you regular pay on top of holiday pay if you work it, others may pay you overtime on top of holiday pay. Never worked for a place that offered holiday pay only if you work it.
Yeah, I worked at one place that would pay overtime (time and a half) plus holiday play. I remember my stepfather saying he would work any holidays, because they would pay him triple time, incentive I guess.You're in a different line of work.
For me, holidays mean the company is closed, everybody is paid and nobody works, except in the rare instance of an emergency, then its 2x pay.

Likewise. I make 5.75 an hour. Doesnt matter if Im shootin, sleepin, fishin, visiting the granbabies in Houston, or God forbid....workin<ugh>I should have said excluding where I work now. I'm on salary now and don't get holiday pay, but you can't beat the time I get off and I still get paid year around.
