Does anyone else have today off as a holiday? sm - Synernet MT

Posted: Feb 17, 2014

There have been a lot of cons posted lately about this company, and I don't disagree, but I have to say this is the first company I have worked for that gave me President's Day off as a paid holiday. I was just curious if any other companies are doing that. I honestly just thought of it is a bank holiday, nothing more.

Nope, not here. - ZvilleMT

I knew it was a federal holiday and I figured since the facility I work for is state-run, they would be closed, but not today.

Hope you enjoyed your day off and did something fun :)

Thanks -- had a lazy day. Kind of nice not to think about work sm - Synernet MT

and just enjoy the sunshine. Spring might actually be on the way. :-)

I have not had 1 holiday off in 4 years :( - Depressed

Who do you work for?

Wow -- that's awful! I work at Synernet. Each year we work 4 holidays sm - Synernet MT

and have off 4 and they alternate every year. I usually do not mind working holidays, but every now and then a day off is nice.

Was this posting a company kudo...sounds like it. - Skeptical

Since President's Day is one of those that only the schools consider a 'holiday' big deal that one would get it off. We all know it is the Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, and the 4th of July that are what we all want off and not a Monday that most of the family has to work. ?? Synernet makes you work 4 holidays out of the year, pays only 7 cpl, pays no shift differential, and has mandatory overtime, as I have read.

Wow ...it was not a "company kudo." I said I agreed with the negatives. sm - Synernet MT

But there ARE positives. We also get the day after Thanksgiving off. And 27 days of earned time off a year. And individual insurance is around $65/pay period, not 3 times that much like some other places. Yes, it is 7 cpl but it is straight typing, so I still make $21/hour. Could it be better? Of course. Communication is the worst I have ever seen. And their policy of finding someone to cover for you on a weekend if you have already gotten your vacation okayed is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of (and I have said that to them). Still, it is one of the better places to work, "warts" and all, and I choose to focus on the positive and not wallow in the negative.

Here's the deal...my company says if/when you work a holiday, they will give you the equivalent hours in PTO to use later on (you work 8, you get 8 PTO). I checked with my state's DOL, and they said absolutely incorrect. You must be an exempt salaried employee for them to do this. They must pay regular employees cash money. The DOL also said that unless the company is a licensed health care facility in my state, which they are not--they only contract with ...

I generally work every holiday, and most of the time the work is rather low, but today it has been rather brisk. Thinking that I might actually make a decent wage today, I was trying to remember how our holiday pay was set up or if Memorial Day was counted as one of their "holdidays." After searching my own files as well as ENRICH I finally found it: It is. We get the enormous increase of.... wait for it.... 25%! Wow. So, for editing that's just ar ...

Last holiday (Labor Day) I was paid a differential. It is usually time and a half so going by your base you will see an additional line on your paystub of holiday lines: ex. if your base rate is 0.08 you will see holiday pay 0.1200 x 1000 lines. As far as I know, we have not received any notification that we do not get holiday pay. ...

Hi. My CCM sent out an email saying that work loads were going to be low because of the holiday and that we could take PTO for Monday if we wanted. My question is what if you don't have PTO? Does that mean you have to work the holiday or can you still request it off and just not get paid for it? I would ask CCM but she said she would be very busy and wouldn't be able to keep up with emails. Thanks ...

I have always gotten paid time-and-a-half for holiday pay on the Fourth of July, which is one of Medquist's holidays (or so it is listed as and always has been), and was told by CCM we would be paid time-and-a-half for that Monday's work done since even though it wasn't the fourth, it is when it is nationally celebrated. However, on today's paycheck I did not get any holiday pay at all!!! I went back several years to check and I always got paid this way for w ...
