Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Exempt employee holiday pay

In our employee's manual, we have a section talking about paid holiday. We said that employees will get pay for a holiday pay if they have been with our company for at least 90 days. If not they will not get paid. However, it does not clarify between exempt vs non-exempt employees. I am a new employee that is on salary that is exempt. At the time I was with the company for about a month. I thought that by law I should have been paid for the July 3 and 4th because the company was closed. I thought that exempt employess were given a predetermined set rate and the company have to pay that each week. Your help is much appreciated.

Re: Exempt employee holiday pay

Just because your employer pays you salary doesn't mean that you are properly classified by your employer as an "exempt employee." You may need to be an hourly employee and he is paying you salary so he does not pay you overtime - that is illegal. Call Arthur Khachatourians, for a free case evaluation 818.590.8294.
