Archived Columbus Day - is it a Target Holiday ?

[qmosqueen]

I was just wondering if Columbus day is a Target Holiday ?

Not sure what the Holiday's are for Target, you know where we get payed "Holiday pay".

Can someone list all the so called "Target Holidays" so I know when I can expect more money in my pay.


thanks

New Years
Easter (no holiday pay)
Memorial Day
July 4th
Labor Day
Thanksgiving
Christmas

It wasn't till I came to live on the East coast that I ever heard anybody make a big deal out of Columbus Day.
When I was going to school it was never closed, no parades none of that stuff.
I come out here and it's all over the place.

If your a team lead, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years ,and Independence Day are paid holidays, plus time and a half for hours that you work. Easter the store is closed, but its not a paid holiday for whatever reason. Years ago I was told because it was a religious holiday, but my response was " then what the heck is Christmas?!?!"

then what the heck is Christmas?!?!"

A double standard.

then what the heck is Christmas?!?!"

A formerly-religious observance that has morphed into a secular holiday.

*cue Hannity minions screeching about the "war on Christmas"

This is the best piece I have ever seen on Columbus Day.
It from The Oatmeal, it's sad and brilliant.

I love The Oatmeal, but Abe Lincoln wasn't so great, either.

Some states might give you time and a half. It's time and a half in my state (along with every sunday).
