Yesterday I asked if we get holiday pay for easter.

We don't.

Can you effing believe that!?

The higher up didn't take kindly to me going "WTF!? It's a god holiday!! You're disrespectin' jesus!"

(PS I'm an agnostic.)

Seriously though, we get paid for memorial day and labor day. Why? It's not like people actually go "Let's spend labor day bonding with the fam!" Generally, it's just a day off of work, while Easter is an actual holiday with activities and family togetherness. Shouldn't you get paid extra for that? Boo.

Boss was handing out the latest memo, this one saying that there's no more easter holiday pay. hands me mine. i read it. asks me if i wanna do a double of OT 8a-midnight on easter. i lol'd and walked out of the room

Word just came down that we don't get holiday pay for Easter either.

More and more company's are just giving people 48 hours of holiday pay a year rather than determining which holiday deserves bonus pay. Then you just use it when you want/need it. Like it better in some ways except the years every holiday known to man lands on my shifts.

That stinks. I'm very fortunate. We get holiday pay for all the normal ones plus MLK day, President's Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and New Year's Eve. Plus we have some weird system where you get paid time off that you can take at any time within the quarter of the holiday, even if you weren't scheduled to work the holiday. It's their way of making up for starting to pay people time-and-a-half instead of double time, I think.

Here in NS we have five general holidays listed in the Labour Standards Code: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, Labour Day and Christmas. These are the minimum number of holidays that employers must provide to employees. Many employers offer more paid holidays. There are some rules about how many hrs or days before a holiday you have to work to be paid that day and some other rules. There are also some exceptions such as anyone working under a collective agreement, which I fall under.
As a result I have 11 days a year. New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Natal Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Rememberance Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. I get 12hrs pay (an avg shift), and if I work on that day I also get Time and a half pay for the shift I work. Not many people take holidays off if they are scheduled to work. Here there are always people looking to work on a holiday, especially if they can pick up a shift at a 24 hr base.

I was gonna write you up on an infraction for avoiding the censor but then I realized I mixed up my Dits and Dahs and made terrible things come through you.

My fondest hope is that this doesn't catch on as I have hard enough time tracking people's English!
