Hi guys, I (F28) work at a large company doing payroll, and I am salary non-exempt (I get 40 hours salaried and paid OT for anything over 40)
My company had 2 days of paid Holiday this week for the 4th of July. Super awesome except I was told Payroll would still be due at 2pm Monday, July 3rd. I don’t receive the cost tracking and timesheets until Monday morning. So I had to work 6 hours on a paid day off.
In our handbook it only states Holiday Pay rules for hourly workers, and they get OT for whatever hours they worked on the holiday.
I asked another payroll person higher up than I am, if I get my 6 hours as OT for Monday as well. She told me no, I have to hit 40 hours worked to get any OT. So I worked 6 hours for no extra pay, and gave up a Holiday for nothing?
I am escalating this higher up because if this is truly the case, I will not be working any other Holidays and that potentially means 300 people being paid late if this happens again. Such bullshit
