if you work on new years day do they pay you time and a half or is it double time ?

Answer 1

I'm working n y day, in my company, if a holiday falls on my regular work day, I get double time. If I sign up to work a holiday on a day I don't usually work, it's time & a half.

Answer 2

The British Columbia Employment Standard Act says employee working on Statutory Holiday must pay time and a half for the first 12 hours, and double time after 12 hours.

Employment law is within the Provincial Government's jurisdiction. It is different from province to province.

I don't know about the U S Law.

Answer 3

There is no legal requirement for this, so it depends on what your company's policy is concerning holiday pay.

For instance, where I work, if you start work on a holiday, you get paid time and one-half for the entire shift. However, if your workday starts on a different day, it's regular time. Other places pay nothing additional while others may pay 1-1/2 times, double, or even triple time for holidays.

Answer 4

depends on the company. Some pay straight time, no onvertime, some pay more like time and half or double time. Im making 2.5 time for my holidays.

Answer 5

Depends on the company and what their rules are. I work in a union plant and our contract says we get double time for all hours worked plus 8 hours of holiday pay. In effect triple time for an 8 hour shift.

Answer 6

my works just pays time and a half

Answer 7

It is according to company policy. So many stores are open on New Years that I doubt they pay their employee any extra pay. Just another work day.

Answer 8

Answer 9
