Hi,

I am an I.T. Consultant. My contract was recently renewed to a company I have been with for years now. However, I was told that there will be no holiday pay for me anymore. I am paid every month for a fixed salary. I am considered a Contractor since I am not a regular employee of the company. I don’t have paid leaves too (but this is acceptable because I am a contractor). My daily rate is computed as monthly rate divided by 21.8333. Given this computation, I can tell that I should get paid for holidays.

In my contract, there was no stipulation that I won’t get paid for holidays. They only advised me of this policy verbally.

I have a couple of questions:
1. Is the policy binding even if I was only told verbally and not stipulated in my contract?
2. Can the company legally do that (i.e. not pay me for holidays)? Is it their right?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Many thanks in advance!

@ kidsmd

Yes, you are entitled to a holiday pay.

@ emil licerio

Yes they are provided that they work on the preceding day before the holiday. Except if there is an existing CBA or agreement between parties.

@ razimatazi

No holiday pay will re paid at any day, even if you are a regular employee. Meaning, even regular holidays will not be paid except if there is existing CBA agreement. Why? Because your leave has no pay.

@ Vinz825

Yes, you are entitled to a holiday pay from 12:00am to 8:00am of April 6 and 11pm to 12:00 Midnight of April 6 as well.

Hi,

My situation is I’m a call center employee working at night and I would like to know If I’m eligible for a holiday pay if it falls the day after my shift starts?

e.g.
I start work at 11pm (Sunday/April5) until 8am the following day (Monday/April6). Am I entitled for the April6 Holdiday pay?

According to the company I’m working for I’m not entitled for the holiday pay since my “shift” started Sunday even though almost almost all of my working hours fall on a holiday.

Regards,
Vinz825
