Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Pay on ''Legal Holidays''
I have always been under the impression that in CA, on any days considered to be ''Federal Holidays'', employers were required to pay OT rate, basically time-and-a-half.
Is this true?
ARE THERE any such days during the year?
Thank You

Re: Pay on ''Legal Holidays''
No, you are incorrect. Employers are not required to pay overtime for federal holidays worked unless working those days puts the worked hours over 40 in a week or the employee works more than 8 hours a day. Of course, some employers may voluntarily choose to pay extra for employees who work holidays but that is totally up tp them.
Re: Pay on ''Legal Holidays''
The rules are the same as for any workweek. OT is required if work on a Holiday would result in the employee working more than 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week. There are no requirements to pay OT for Holidays.
