What happens if one of our usual paid holidays, such as the 4th of July, falls on a weekend?
A.A thorough holiday policy will address this situation. Your policy may state that you won´t offer holiday pay at all for a weekend holiday, or it may state that you will give employees a paid day off on the Friday before or the Monday after. If your policy is ambiguous or silent on this point, an employee who files a wage claim and who can demonstrate a reasonable expectation of receiving pay for the holiday will likely prevail. Q. I paid my employee for 43 hours of wages during the last workweek. Eight of those hours were paid as sick leave, as the employee was out ill for one day. Am I required to pay the employee for three hours of overtime? A. No. The required overtime pay is 1½ times the hourly rate for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek. Overtime is calculated based on hours actually worked, and your employee worked only 35 hours during the workweek. Unless an employment contract or collective bargaining agreement states otherwise, you needn´t count sick leave, vacation
