How about holidays?

[calpoon]

a recent thread got me thinking. Does your job give you time off for federal holidays?

 

[ChefChiTown]

Nope...those are actually some of our busiest days in restaurants.

My last job gave me off for Federal holidays, but I didn't get paid for them.

 

[Facetious]

Curio ^ Was it a Muni, County, or private enterprise position ?


Employers "should" post all of their policies in some form of a pre employment packet, that way the employee isn't surprised when a holiday comes up, only to find out that they have to work.

If the employer doesn't lay down the guidelines up front, they're either subcontractors re-subcontracting, flakes . . . etc.
Just the same, it's up to the individual employee to find these things out.
Ask me how I know this :o . . .on second thought :nono:

I actually only got Christmas off last year. Had to work Thanksgiving morning. Rest oo the holidays I asked for off.

 

[Legzman]

only the big ones. Christmas, thanksgiving and new years. We're open on easter cause the fucks who own the company or fuckin jews. Seriously...they really are jews.

I once worked a job where they gave you nothing off. If you were scheduled to work you worked that day no matter where if fell on the calendar. I got paid like crap too.

 

[Becks...poamr]

At my last job, we got paid time and a half AND holiday pay for 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, I know.

Not a cent for Easter.

I don't remember about Thanksgiving.

We also were closed on Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Easter.

It was a county position, but technically it was a temp position even though I was there over a year. Because it was a temp position is why I didn't get paid for holidays.

Only the major ones :hatsoff:
