No longer getting time an a half for holidays

California and the majority of states do not require extra pay for holidays unless you have a contractual agreement with your employer.
This has been posted about on at least two or three separate threads over the past few weeks on this board.
Not necessarly. Holiday pay may only be federal holdiays not religious holidays and I do believe as long as they give you some incentive they meet the requirements. So the new $2.00 more per hour for holiday pay instead of time and a half may be legal. I am pretty sure SHC has lawyers who check and recheck this and make sure they are legal in all states. Or they are taking a risk and hoping that no one will file a suit against them. Already cut vacation time from almost 1 hour per pay period to 6 minutes per pay period.
If your state requires it, you will. Massachusetts does for a handful of holidays. I wouldn't be surprised if California has something too.
Check your state's rules re holiday pay and make certain you get your due.
