Will you get a paid day off on Labor Day?

1. Retired.

And father of an almost-3 year old boy who pays me in love benefits every day. I never get a "day off".

[jgraz]

2. Other: I get a paid day off, but I have to work anyway

Major deadline Tuesday morning. Funny how that happens...

[nam78_two]

7. Same here

Deadline Oct 1 for a grant I have to submit. I don't even remember the last week-end I took off completely anyway. Of course often times it is by choice-I have been a lab-rat for too long :-|...

3. Have a job, have to work and DON'T get OT! n/t

[tammywammy]

4. Have day off, get holiday pay

:)

5. I think I'm an "other"

I'm self-employed, and I "would" be working on Labor Day probably, but I think I'm going to be finished with my current task, and my guess is I won't get another one until after the holiday, although I could be wrong. If I get another project, I will be working.

6. I once had a boss that said I couldn't get Labor Day off

Unless I was actually IN labor.

Independent Contractors Don't Get Paid Holidays

or any holidays. Or unemployment. Or anything.

On the other hand, I can take care of a severely disabled child and keep food on the table. And I get lots of exercise in the free air.

10. I'm just a plain old contractor

I don't have to work monday, but I don't get holiday pay. There is a ton of work to be done, and I asked if I could work 40 hours in the 4 days tu-fri and they said no. So I get a day off and a smaller paycheck.

11. I'm a contractor who's working 36 hours next week,

and they can like it or lump it.

18. I like the strength of your Monicker, Undeterred!

That's a name to live up to!

[undeterred]

27. I try, its not always easy.

[Initech]

8. Other: I get a half day paid since I'm a part time employee

[Orsino]

9. Sorta-kinda

I get paid holidays, but I do shift work. Monday is a regular day off for me, so I'll take my holiday on Tuesday.

[Middle finga]

12. Yep, Federal employee and the office is closed

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

13. Yup.

[Desertrose]

14. Other-self employed. What's a day off?

...and what the hell is "overtime pay"?

...or for that matter what is this thing called "healthcare"?

15. I would have, but I was laid off

two weeks ago along with half of the company, including most of the executives. I've got two interviews scheduled for next week; I'll probably get at least one offer.

[madrchsod]

16. i need a job to have a day off from a job

[TexasProgresive]

17. Off and get paid-

And had I agreed to work I would have gotten time and a half in addition to my regular pay. It's good to be union!

19. I voted for Hubby since I'm a SAHM.

Stay-at-home mom, that is. He's on-call for the practice this weekend, so while he doesn't have clinic hours, he has to round at both hospitals and take all calls. It's his turn for Labor Day.

[Jed Dilligan]

20. Other, I don't get a paid day off and I have to work. nt

[Left Is Write]

21. No, but I'm not salaried.

If I work on Labor Day, I'll get paid. If don't work on Labor Day, I won't get paid. Same as every other day of the year.

Fortunately, I can choose whether or not to work.

My husband does receive a paid holiday on Monday.

[BlooInBloo]

22. Hm. I don't know.

[Nikia]

23. I get a paid holiday on Labor Day

We have several paid holidays off and Labor Day is one of them.

[Cha]

24. I love my job but

Mondays are intensively laborious and I freakin' love getting off on the paid Monday Holidays!! YAY!!

[DFW]

25. I checked "no" but it's misleading

I'm back on station in Europe, and Labor Day in May 1 here (when I have to
work, too, since May 1 is not a holiday in America).

But don't cry for me, Argentina. I'm station chief here. I get as much vacation
as I want to take, as long as I can convince the boys Stateside that I'm being
useful, and I've been able to fool them into thinking that for decades, now......

26. Better: a double-paid day!

We get holiday pay six days per year--New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Unfortunately, the store is closed on two of those days--Thanksgiving and Christmas.

So, we get two paid days off per year and four days where we get double pay. (If you're scheduled off for a double-paid day, you still get the holiday pay*--and, of course, you get paid for the five days you worked.)

* People who are off on double-paid days only receive the holiday bonus pay if they work the scheduled shift before the holiday, and the scheduled shift after it. Say you luck out with the schedule--this probably won't happen, but say it did--and are scheduled off Saturday through Tuesday. Because of our single-week scheduling system, which does NOT take into account the weeks surrounding this one (which means it's possible to get scheduled Monday-Tuesday this week and Saturday-Sunday next week, with ten days of work in between), this can happen. To get your holiday pay, you must work Friday and Wednesday.
