I work a ten-hour-day schedule, 4 days per week. Do I get 10 hours of holiday pay when a holiday falls on my workday?
No. A holiday is valued at 8 hours, so you would get 8 hours of holiday pay on that day. If you want to apply 2 hours of vacation leave to that day you may do so, in which case you would receive a full day’s pay for that day. Think of it this way, as an example: Just suppose there were 10 holidays per year. Most employees receive 8 hours of holiday pay for each of those days, or 80 hours of holiday pay per year. If those of you who work a 10 hour day were to receive 10 holidays at 10 hours each, that would be 100 hours of holiday pay, or more holiday pay than others receive.
