Archived Paid Holidays

[PA 0701]

What are the paid holidays for spot and who qualifies for them?

 

[YepanSTL]

There are 6 per year: New Years, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas

I am not 100% on this, but I believe it works like benefits, in that you are eligible after 6 months. You don't necessarily get a full 8 hours of pay though. It is based on the average number of hours you work a week, kind of like the way vacation works.

Certain holidays are. I can't remember which ones.

TMs who get 32 hours or more get paid their average daily hours for Christmas and Thanksgiving, TLs get all 6 posted above

Does Easter count, too?

Nope. It was explained to me that Easter is considered a religious holiday. I guess Christmas has become so secular that they don't count it as religious anymore.

this one gets our store every year because theres always one of the TLs or ETLs who thinks its a time and a half holiday therefore we can work sat night into sun morning plus 5 days that week and not get OT

^ Haha. Former specialists should still get the holidays they used to get. It was either 3 or 4 I think.

The good news is that anyone working on the listed holidays gets time and a half pay for hours work that day. So, even if you don't qualify for a full paid day, you still get some extra cash for doing the same job.

If it's a religious holiday, enough to close the store (like Thanksgiving and Christmas), obviously, they should pay time-and-a-half for those people who have to come into work. If they're not going to pay that, they might as well as have the store open on Easter day.

Hey, I told them I would be happy to work on frelling Easter Sunday if I didn't have to use personal days for Passover.
They don't seem to care for that tradeoff though it seems totally fair to me.
