So we used to be hourly. And we would get paid for Thanksgiving and Christmas. So we would work 40 hours then be off Christmas and get paid for it. (48 hours was a typical schedule.)
Then we got put on salary. It’s a big mess and of course I’m working more hours and getting paid less money. But I won’t even get into that….
What I am confused about is that we were told for Thanksgiving that we would take our usual day off and Thanksgiving we were closed so that would be our second day off. Well that’s not holiday pay. That’s just having two days off in a week like normal. I didn’t think much of it, kinda annoyed by it but oh well what can ya do.. then I looked at my paystub and it SHOWS holiday pay. So I asked HR lady and she said “holiday pay is no longer a thing for salary employees.” So I asked her WHY it shows up on our paystubs then. She said that they have to show they are paying us with the store being closed. Why does that matter if it’s in in with my two days off? If I no longer get three days off during those weeks, holiday pay isn’t a thing anymore and why does it need to show on my paystub? Should they be giving me three days off instead? It shows that I get holiday pay and no the hell I don’t. Who would I talk to about this?
