Holiday Rates w/No Overtime

jk

If a non-exempt employee works a holiday, and in the same work week is given a day off, do we pay the time worked on the holiday at a different rate than the employee's normal one?

My understanding is that unless you have a policy which states any hours WORKED on a holiday will be paid at a premium rate, overtime would only apply to anything over 40 hours within the regular seven-day work week. Any hours worked on a holiday would then be paid at the regular rate unless the actual hours worked are over 40.

Pay for any holiday hours NOT worked would not count toward overtime...

Unless your policy states otherwise, Holiday pay is paid at normal sraight time and therefore because a day off was taken in the same week, this would not constitute more than 40 hours worked in the week. Therefore no overtime requirement (time and half)would be necessary.
