I am a manager in a resturant, on salary, and my boss says I get only one more day off this week. We were closed on Christmas and he says that is my other day off. Is that legal?

According to law a salaried worker does not have an official time for working, but is 'on call' to work, without extra pay when required.
However in practice, many people have contracts that spell out exactly all the hours, days and variations permitted.
If you have a day off, Christmas day or otherwise, your boss can rightly say you have had a day off, as you have. However if, by law, Christmas Day is officially given as an paid extra day for all workers in your State, then you probably will have the right to gain a day off in addition. Or, alternatively, extra pay for working the 'given' day.
Check your contract, see what it says. and perhaps look for another job...and get the terms ironed out BEFORE you sign up!

Sorry guy, but your company can establish their own rules. All retail and restaurant hours suck. The pay is usually low and the abuse is usually high. I'd find a new restaurant. There are a million of them. Check Monster.com, Yahoo jobs or careerbuilder.com. You can also call any of the large recruiting/head hunters in the yellow pages.

I'm not sure how your restaurant operates. Every one is different when it comes to those things these days. Make sure you look in your Manager's handbook, manual or whatever you got when you started as Manager.
If you don't find anything, call your corporate office, if there is one. If you work for a "private" business, I would think you're SOL. sorry.
Take care.

Yes, almost every job i've had if the place was closed on a holiday that was counted as one of your days off.

Sounds like a typical @$$-hole boss. Wrong-YES, illegal-no, I'm afraid. People like your boss makes me sick. I would find a new joob, if I were you. Good luck, and Happy New Year.
