I work as a contractor (salaried/exempt) at a hospital in California where my coworker/peers are paid hourly/non-exempt, so the expectation is that I'm there for the exact same shifts as they are. I just switched to 4x10s with Monday RDO. For Monday holidays, my hospital's supervisor (not my employer) is saying when a holiday falls on a Monday, I have to work my regular 4×10 schedule. My contract company supervisor said they have no problem with this, but they won't pay me anything extra or give me holiday credit since I'm salaried. With the holiday (8 hours) and my work schedule Tu-Fri (40 hours) I am technically at 48 hours for the week. Can the hospital supervisor (not my employer) make me come in for those extra hours? I asked her if in this scenario I could work 8's during a week like this and she said no… even though there's no operational need for me to be there for the additional time.
My non-contractor coworkers told me they get holiday credit when a holiday falls on their RDO. Also, if a holiday falls on a weekend we all always observe it on a weekday (for example, we are taking Friday off for Veterans Day even though Veterans Day is Saturday)… TIA!
