So I checked my pay stub over and noticed that although it was on there that I got holiday pay for that week, the final payout after deductions came out as a regular check. I asked one of the supervisors, who does payroll when the main employee is off, to look into it. I was told that it was because I only worked four days. If it helps, I'm unavailable on Saturdays. But I did work Christmas Eve, and I asked a few others if they got their holiday pay. They did. I plan on talking to the main payroll person. If it's because of me off on Saturdays I can accept that. Could that be a factor?
Were you scheduled on Saturday? If you were scheduled but didn't work, then that's probably why you didn't get your holiday pay. Even if you worked a different day to make up for it, the computer still thinks you missed a day of work. I don't know if payroll can make an adjustment on your next check since I've never been in your situation before.
OP here. I changed my schedule some years ago and I put down unavailable for Saturday. I don't work on a Saturday at all. I just want to know if that would be a factor.

It was a holiday week and the store was closed Christmas Day. Many people only worked four days and they got their holiday pay. I always get three days off during holiday weeks. The only thing my contract says about holiday pay is:
Employees who absent of their own accord during a holiday week shall only be paid for hours worked unless the absence is caused by a proven illness or is excused by the employer.

That should not be a factor. You should have been paid unless you called in during the week or your contract is different than mine.
OP once again. In a way it did. And to Anonymouse, different contracts could also be it. I did get the holiday pay but because Christmas was on a Friday and I was off the following Saturday, that's why my check is the way it is.
