I was hired at food4less on Aug, 2010. Ive worked on my birthday every year since 2010. How does holiday pay affect me when i work on my birthday or anniversary date. Is it paid out at time-1/2 or double time?
Read Agreement between Food4Less and United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 135, 324, 770, 1167, 1428, and 8-GS under (SECTION 6 HOLIDAYS) 6.1.1, THRU 6.6 also 6.6.1 THRU 6.7
The old contact was online...if you were forced to work, without another day mutually agreed...2.5X your hourly rate.
6.1.1 Each qualifying employee shall give the Employer notice of his birthday and/or anniversary date at least two (2) weeks prior to the week in which the birthday and/or anniversary date occurs. Such birthday and/or anniversary date shall be enjoyed by the employee on the actual day of such holiday or on another day mutually agreeable to the employee and the Employer. If the employee's birthday and/or anniversary date falls on a day, which is otherwise considered as a holiday, he shall receive an additional day off for the birthday and/or anniversary date in addition to the holiday on which it falls.
6.1.4 The Company agrees that no employee will be denied a birthday, anniversary or personal holiday to which he would otherwise be entitled as a result of the employee's failure to request such a holiday in advance. Rather employees who fail to request the birthday, anniversary, or personal holiday in advance shall be entitled to another mutually agreeable day off with pay within thirty (30) days of the request. It is further understood that no employee is entitled to holiday pay for any holiday, which falls after the employee's termination date.
6.5 Hours worked on the above holiday shall be computed at two and one-half (2½) times the employee's regular hourly rate of pay as set forth in Appendix A or B.
I'm not sure why people think this post is a joke, when i thought it was known that more than one contract, the two PH days are because of 1. birthday and 2. anniversary date. it's just that most people don't take them on those days.
People need to understand that ALL contracts are different. Different employees are under different contracts, even in the same stores. I.E. in my store most old contracts only get 2 personal days but get paid time and a half on Sundays. Plus they get paid for more legal holidays. On the contrary, I get 4 personal days, normal pay on Sundays, and less legal holidays.
