If u are hired on to a rather large Grocery Chain, and come time to work a Holiday u find out that they don't pay Holiday Pay??? If u were not notified of this with employment, is there any laws that say that u have the option to choose not to work it without suffering any consquences.....

Thanks for ur answers I am a part time employee; so I guess I will have a choice in if I will work or not.. For those who gave a gruff answer try to be a little kinder in life. Sure u might know it all, and u think u are superior in life and that is fine. BUT u have to realize that sometimes some things should not be asked on answer or ask, but u could possible make or break a person. Why have people become so critical in life. THINK before u answer, if ur so brillant than act with dignity rather than blind ignorance. For those who gave an honest, caring response Thanks K.

it is the employees responsibility to find out anything they are unsure o at time of employment, not the employers.
unless on the contract you signed (when you got ur job) it says you do get payed on holidays, you cant do anything about it,

Where do you live? In Ontario, Canada, if you work the day before and after a statutory holiday you get paid for the holiday, too. If it is holiday pay you are talking about, that is a percentage - 4% and is either added to your pay each pay cheque or you get paid straight through when you take your vacation. Does that help you ?

It's all in the company handbook. Also, are you considered a full time or part time employee? Some policies are only enforced with full time employees. Labor laws do not dictate when a company can be open/closed or when an employee can/cant work.

If a company has a mandatory closing the day after Thanksgiving, but you are willing to work but unable due to the closing do I have to use a vacation day to be paid? The company is making it a mandatory closing the day after.

No State that I know of has any requirement to pay holiday pay, so unless it's in your employment contract, they're free to treat it like any other day.

There is no federal or state laws addressing "Holiday Pay"/ it is up to each individual company.

paid holidays are a benefit, not a legal right
