Topic	We have to use PTO if we want to get paid for Christmas Day
LinkPizza 12/17/19 7:27:57 AM #24:	CaptainObvius posted... I understand getting paid extra for working on holidays. But I don't understand getting paid for not working them. Every job I have ever had, you need to give them notice and use saved PTO for holidays off. Working on holidays I usually get holiday pay, (my past hourly jobs it was time and a half, or double time) or a bonus. Most career jobs are closed on that day. So, if they didn't pay you, you'd be missing a day of work, even if you wanted to work. That would cut your hours short for the week. Which can really hurt these days, as many people live paycheck to paycheck and need every hour they were promised (normally 40 a week). Depending on how long your days off, that could normally mean you'r missing 8-12 hours for that week. That's why most jobs give you a paid holiday. It would technically be unfair to do that. And while they legally could, it would make that business look bad. And cause people not to work there because they are forced to not work holidays and don't get paid. But basically, they pay you because they're making you not work and would be robbing you of hours or whatever... Getting extra money for working holidays is usually because you have to work on a holiday, which means missing out on family time or the free money that everyone else is getting. Which is why they'll pay those people more. Even if you don't care about the holiday. Because it would definitely be unfair to make you work for regular price because you don't care about the holiday when they would pay other people more just because they do... But that extra oney is usually pretty nice. Especially depending on how many hours you work. And what you're work you actually did... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
