At our workplace, production employees work four days per week, 10 hours per day and administrative employees work five days per week, eight hours per day. If a holiday falls on a Monday, we pay administration employees eight hours of holiday pay. Do we pay production employees eight or 10 hours of holiday pay?
Employers may choose to pay either eight or 10 hours of holiday pay for employees on an alternative workweek schedule.
If holidays are paid at eight hours, production employees working 10-hour days will be shorted two hours of pay during holiday weeks. Administrative and production employees would receive the same holiday pay, but production employees would not receive pay for their full scheduled workday.
Many employers instead base holiday, vacation and sick leave on the employee’s regular workday (for example, 10 hours) to avoid this issue.
Although it is best to address holiday pay in the written alternative workweek proposal and before the secret ballot vote, the current alternative workweek schedule remains valid.
