    Default Compensation for Non-Exempt Employees on Dates When the Office is Closed

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Oklahoma.

    I have a question- about non-exempt workers, pay on a day the office is closed.

    per our company policy I work in a non-profit church. the office was closed on Good Friday and the day after Easter. the office administration is non-exempt and she was paid 8 hours for Good Friday and the day after Easter per our company policy.

    She was called in to work on Good Friday. she worked for 4 hours. since he was already paid for 8 hours of pay do I pay her an additional 4 hours of pay at regular pay or do I pay her time and half? or do we legal need to pay her since he was already paid for the 8 hours?

    I am new to Oklahoma and the payroll laws are different. I moved here from California. I am the Office Manger and I handle all the payroll. thank you

    Unless the policy promises X number of paid days off and working this one day reduced that number there is no need to pay her. But that is just a poorly worded policy.

    As far as wage & hour law is concerned there is no reason to pay additional at all.

    LEGALLY, you only owe her for the hours she actually worked. There is only one state that requires additional pay for working on a holiday; your state is not that state; even in the one state where it is required Good Friday is not one of the holidays which requires it.

    How you want to handle it via company policy is up to you.
