good day! i need an advise regarding our payout. i work at a contact center and we had client holiday on November 25,26 which happens to be US Thanksgiving, we werent paid since we dont have vacations leaves yet which is fine. We came to office on Nov 29, 2010 which was supposed to be double pay because of a legal holidayHowever, we were deducted 3 days on our recent payout and they are saying that since November 29, 2010 was a legal Holiday due to Boni day, we did not come to work on the day prior to the holiday, we will not be paid twice. Please advise on this matter. Thank you.
