I'm confused with the holiday pay. Our store was closed for thanksgiving day. My base is 40 hours, during the week of thanksgiving. I would normally work 12 hours shift on Thursday, but I was supposed to be off on thanksgiving day. Initially, I got paid 32 hours plus 8 hours holiday pay. But for the most recent payroll, my payroll was subtracted by additional 4 hours. Is it because my original shift is 12 hours so they deducted to make it up? But I supposed to be off anyway. The past two years my payroll was only deducted by 6 or 8 hours. Is there anything new the company is doing? I overheard someone talked about make up the holiday hours. I'm so confused. Can someone explain this for me please. Thanks

I do 12 hour shifts at my store also so I can answer your question. Holiday pays, PTO (vacation,sick) are all maxed at 8 hours each day. They cannot give you 12 hours as your holiday pay just because your shift is 12 hours. The limit is always 8 hours. That's why taking a vacation or sick time will lead to a smaller paycheck because you are getting 8 hours per day off and losing that 4 hours difference.

They do not do that for me. If I take off, it's 12 hours pto. If I call in sick, 12 hours sick time.

Holiday pay is 8 hours, though. But that doesn't affect me because my pharmacy doesn't close. I just get the extra 8 hours added to my pay.

When I was with them that holiday pay situation depended on the boss. The first one didn't give a ****; you put down your base and the holiday pay was additional. The second one followed the rules; if the holiday landed on your shift and the store was closed you were responsible for making up your hours. Example: If your shift was 12 hours, you get the 8 hours holiday and had to let them know when you were making up the other 4 hours in order to get paid for them.

In your case if you were supposed to be off anyway then you got screwed. It should be base + holiday. Hope you get it straightened out
