I tried to PM you but your inbox is full.. anyways, here it is:
Thanks for the help - I'm new to all this so I'm just trying to figure the forum out. I am a rehab therapist in a nursing home. They didnt provide paid holidays before, but they have since taken away 5 days of PTO and provide holiday pay - whether or not you work on that specific holiday doesnt change you getting holiday pay.
I did NOT work on Christmas. Just missed the last scheduled day before it - I even attempted to come in on Friday on my day off to avoid the loss.
As per their policy, even if I did work on Christmas and missed the scheduled day before or after, I would loose the pay.
It just seems to me that the holiday pay is a benefit, and just like PTO, would be considered a wage. Am I wrong?
