Please tell me if im being overdramatic or not but im super pissed off right now and ready to walk out if it didn't mean tanking my finances. For context I work 4, 10 hour shifts a week fri-mon. The pay periods are counted from sun-sat, so my work week is split between them. I'm in WA state if that makes a difference.
My company offered time and a half for the Juneteenth holiday. It fell on a Monday, and i came in an hour early and worked 11 hours. I picked up an aditional 10 hour shift that week on Thursday. I worked 51 hours total, 11 of which was on a holiday, so I should have gotten 21 hours of time and a half and 30 hours of regular pay.
I was only paid 11 hours of time and a half. Apparently, hours worked on a holiday don't count towards my total hours worked in terms of overtime. I tried pushing for a better explanation, and I was just told that the overtime fell on Juneteenth and it couldn't double. But that doesn't make any sense, since it was on a Monday and chronologically the overtime would have started Saturday?
I'm super upset, if that's the case what is even the point of picking up an extra shift on a holiday week? I also picked up overtime the week of July 4th, and that won't matter. I'm so upset right now. Is there anything I can do, any law that I can prove that there breaking? I'm in college part time and I need that extra money to pay for tuition. I'm so upset
