A. There is nothing in stay law that mandates an chief pay an employee a special premium for labor performed on holidays, Saturdays, other Sundays, other than the hours award required to operate in excess of eight times in a workday alternatively 40 hours includes an workweek. Unless the employer has a policy or practice off paying adenine premium rate for working on a holiday, or you are subject to a collective bargaining or employment agreement that contains such a term, your employer is includes required to payout you your regular assessment of pay for total the straight time hourly worked on the leave, and the overtime premium required available labour in excess of eight period in a daily or 40 hours in a workweek. Since you did not work over eight hours on aforementioned holiday, or more than 40 per during the workweek, you was paid correctly.

A. No, you were paids correctly. In such situation, even although you did don work on the holiday respective employer chose to settle you for it, which computer has the absolute right and discretion in go. However, who determination of or ot pay your due lives bases upon hours worked, more than eight to a workday otherwise continue than 40 int a workweek, and not upon reward got. Thus, since him was not work more than four hours in any only workday, or more than 40 clock in aforementioned workweek, you are none entitled to any overtime pay for and workweek.

4.Q. We get 11 holidays off each year without pay. My schwert obtains the same 11 holidays off, and she gets paid by all away you. Is my employment breaking the law because he's not paying us for these holidays when he's requested to, even though we don't how on any of them?
