Seeing this post made me flash back to how often wage theft happened to me during holidays as a teenager.
4th of July, New Year's... Didn't even know about time and a half.
You're viewing a single thread.
NEVER work holidays for 1.5x pay if all employees gets paid 1x. I learned my lesson as a teen, once you cancel out the 1x from everyone, you're working for half pay. fuck that.
edit: to further explain, many retail places will offer 1.5x pay for those that work, but those that don't work get paid 1x anyway. so you're basically working for half pay once you remove the 1x pay from everyone.
Wut?
I think they are trying to say people got 1x holiday pay for the day off so if you worked and got 1.5x you only were really getting half time.
Ya where I live you are supposed to get the day with pay and then if you work that day you get 1.5x on top of that for basically 2.5x
Oooohhh.... Yea. I missed that bit of context I guess lol makes way more sense now.
Usually, you'd get your holiday pay at 1x that everyone gets and then you'd get 1.5x for working the holiday.
Exactly, I was confused by their warning because actually working a holiday at whatever rate shouldn't (and in most cases doesn't) make you forfeit any holiday pay benefit that all employees get.
but if you're going to get regular 1x pay and get a day off, those that work for 1.5x are only working for half pay if you remove the 1x from everyone. take a day off instead and get paid.
