Wal-Mart steals from their employees

[Anonymous]

I just found out that, even though I worked Memorial Day, I won't be getting holiday pay; even though Memorial Day is recognized by Wal-Mart as a paid holiday. You know why? Because I didn't work the day before because I had requested it off. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but if you work ON the actual holiday, shouldn't you get holiday pay? In my opinion this is stealing.

Nope. It's pretty standard actually. Actually I know a lot of jobs where you gave to work the day before and the day after or you don't get the holiday pay.

[..guesswho..]

No. Where my dh and my mom work it's the same way. You have to work the day before and after to get the holiday pay.

I thought that was the norm.

That's how it is at my moms work.

At my wife's work you don't have to work the day before but you have to work a normal work week in order to get the extra holiday pay.

my dh works for sara lee and that is how it works there as well...if the you voluntarily take the day off before a holiday than you just get regular pay on that holiday...same with over time and so forth...pretty standard and a i am sure if you read the employee handbook it tells you straight out the same thing

[MumsTheWord571]

Same. I've had places that were like this. If you requested the day before or after a paid holiday off you didn't get holiday pay- even if you weren't working that day because the company was closed.

My moms federal job is like this. She has to work the day before and the day after to get holiday pay.

My job if u call out day before or day after then u only ger straight time on the holiday and if your off on the holiday you do not get any holiday pay

[PhoenixsMommy10]

Well, company policy states that you have to work the day of the holiday and either the day before or the day after.

*Edit*

Or you might have to work both. I'd have to ask my husband again how it works.
