Benefits
Implications of Compressed Workweeks - Holidays
Non-exempt
employees:
Regardless
of work schedule, all full-time non-exempt employees receive
eight hours of holiday pay per designated holiday.
There are several options for recording the holiday.
If
the holiday falls on a regularly scheduled workday: |
|
Record 8 hours of holiday and 2 hours of vacation (or Paid Time
Off [PTO]) to make up a 10-hour shift or one hour to make up a
9-hour shift.
Record 8 hours of holiday and make up the one or 2 hours on
another day the same week.
Revert to a "regular" 5-day schedule for the week in
which the holiday occurs. The holiday is then taken and paid on
the designated day.
|
If the holiday falls on a day when the employee is not
scheduled to work: |
|
Take 8 hours off during the same pay period and record them as
holiday pay. The remaining 2 hours would be worked or recorded
as vacation (or PTO).
Revert to a regular 5-day schedule for the week in which
the holiday occurs. The holiday is then taken and paid on the
designated day.
|
Exempt employees:
Regardless of work schedule, all full-time exempt employees are
paid their full salary for the holiday week.
Because exempt employees are paid to get a job done, any
difference in number of hours is disregarded.
If the holiday falls on a regularly scheduled workday:
|
|
Take the holiday off.
|
If the holiday falls on a day when the employee is not
scheduled to work:
|
|
Take a holiday on a day that is a scheduled workday.
