Our Holiday policy requires ees work day before and after to receive pay.

An employee was FMLA reasons to be off both of those days.

Should he get holiday pay or not???

Thanks!

We are a state agency, so it is a little different, but if the person was on paid leave before and after, they would get the holiday, if on unpaid leave, they would not. FMLA would not change that for us.

HRQ

Our policy is the same as yours however if the day before or after the holiday was approved off in advance, the holiday is paid. FMLA is considered an approved absence.

In general, FMLA requires that an employee receive the same benefits they normally would have, had they been working.

I believe the employee needs to be paid.

We do not pay holidays for employees on FMLA, but our holiday pay policy states employees on any type of leave are not eligible and employees must work or be available to work both the day before and the day after.

I agree with the other posters. If the employee was on unpaid leave then they wouldn't get the holiday. Especially if the leave was longer than just the two days. If they were on paid leave or were only out those two days and it was pre-approved then they should probably get the holiday.
