Another thoughtful employer. |
You owe her more than two consecutive days, PP. Thanksgiving is a national holiday where all her friends and family will be off work. Celebrating the actual holiday or not, she deserves more compensation for being away on a major holiday. |
Yes. Wed-Fri off paid. |
Same, although this year she has a half day Tuesday because grandparents will be in town early. |
We did Thurs - Fri paid holiday and stated it on the contract. |
Yes. |
We'll have to agree to disagree. I'm right of course, but you're entitled to your wrong opinion. Our nanny's family is not from this country so "family will be off work" is inaccurate. The nanny will get two work days off that come up against a weekend so they get four days total, just not right now. This was spelled out in our contract, which the nanny reviewed and signed. |
Are you paying time and a half for Thanksgiving? NP here and only if you are are you right. The days are not legally interchangeable. |
NP here. It isn't a legal right to have Thanksgiving off - you realize that; right? |
It’s a national holiday. Right or not a right, it’s still time-and-a-half. (Which we all know this MB is not paying). |
Overtime applies when actually working 40 hours a week. Some employment contracts may specify an “overtime rate” when working a holiday. But there is no legal entitlement to it. |
I doubt she pays more than $10/hr! Cheap witch. |
Yes. Which makes today her payday and I nearly forgot. |
Overtime also applies to hours worked in one day. Some states it’s eight and some nine. Holiday rate is time and a half same as overtime so I think we all knew what the PP meant. It sucks for anyone to have to work on a holiday. - MB |

Must an Employer Provide Employees Time off on Holidays? No. There is no Federal law that requires an employer to provide time off, paid or otherwise, to employees on nationally recognized holidays. Holidays are also typically considered as regular workdays. Employees receive their normal pay for the time they work on a holiday if the employer does not offer holiday pay Are Employees Who Work on a Holiday Entitled to Premium Pay? No. While it is common to pay a premium to an employee who works on a holiday, there is no legal requirement to do so. It's up to the employer who may view paying employees who work on a holiday as a part of their benefits package. |
