How would you pay him?

If an ee was paid for the 4th of July holiday but also worked 2.5 hrs on the 4th which he gave to me today. Do we need to pay him again for the 2.5 hrs and would it be regular time or OT? This is probably a silly question but lately I have been having alot of #-o moments.

Thanks.x:D

What does your policy say about working on a holiday? Ours states the employee will receive holiday pay, and will be paid their base pay for any hours worked that do not exceed 8 in the day. After 8, we pay time and a half for hours up to 12, then we pay double after 12.

If you don't have a policy in place, I feel you should pay the employee straight time for the 2.5 hours.

I agree with HR in CA. In the absence of a policy, pay straight time.

Our policy specifically states that paid time off hours (vacation, holiday, etc) are not included in actual hours worked for calculating overtime pay.

I would agree with the above - pay at straight time as long as all over time worked that week does not exceed 40 hours (assuming no policy or practice that indicates otherwise).

Thank you we have a holiday policy but, it does not go into detail about if the ee works part of the holiday how to compensate. Since he did not exceed 8 hrs it should be considered regular pay. My brain is just kicking in at 5:00pm.xclap
