Can an Employer Give Some Employees Holidays that Others Do Not Get
An employer hired a new worker who has been given three designated holidays that other employees do not receive. Is that lawful?
Re: Can an Employer Give Some Employees Holidays that Others Do Not Get
Absent a contractual restriction that requires equal treatment of employees within the same categorization or collective bargaining unit, it is generally going to be lawful. It is possible to imagine situations in which the grant could allow other employees to claim a civil rights violation (discrimination based upon race, color, sex, religion, etc.), but for the most part it's no different than negotiating for a higher salary when you join a new employer's business.
