For context: I live in the Milwaukee area, and I had jury duty the week of Thanksgiving from Monday to Wednesday; I called my manager the day I got the jury summons and let him know what was up, this was well before the actual day and even during the lead up to the dates I reminded him about it
The company policy states that for an employee to get holiday pay they have to show up the day prior and the day after said holiday to receive the pay, however this week when I saw my check in the pending section of my banking account I noticed something was off, so I contacted my manager and asked about it, his response was that since I didn't show up on Wednesday (which is the beginning of my work week of 4 days straight) I wasn't receiving the holiday pay and if I wanted to get it I'd need to use PTO
The actual question: isn't this s*** illegal? It's an excused absence and it can't count as PTO since it's my civic duty to attend the court, am I wrong thinking that?
