Holiday $ question - Craig


Posted: Nov 18, 2013

I'm confused about holidays with Nuance. I was told I had to work either Thanksgiving or Christmas when I was hired, but not both. Now I'm getting emails that no UNPAID time off will be granted. I have no PTO right now, so am I to assume I have to work all day on Thanksgiving AND Christmas since they fall on my regularly-scheduled days???

This is what kills me about this business. WE DON'T GET PAID ENOUGH TO BE ASKED TO WORK HOLIDAYS. For years I was spoiled, I did workmen's comp mainly so the clinics were closed on holidays. Now, both holidays are up for grabs. I asked for Thanksgiving off but my manager said a lot of people did so they are "in the process" of deciding who will get the day off? I find it ridiculous! I'm sure that the favorites will get the day off.

there probably won't be any work available so it would be unpaid anyway-nm - nomatterwhattheysay

I understand there probably wont be any work, but I will still have to sit here and babysit, clock in and out of webclock, etc. I wont be able to leave until my shift is over. UGH

That kind-of depends--sm - anon

I like to work the holidays to get what extra I can, but, I do not babysit. If I sign on and there is no work, I follow the usual OOW procedures and sign out after 15 minutes. On Thanksgiving, whether or not I return depends on how well I did earlier in the week. I only babysit when I absolutely need the money, but it is generally not worth it enough for the one report that comes here and there.

Holiday Pay...sm
Dec 30, 2011

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 ...

Holiday Pay Differential
Nov 27, 2009

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 ...

So How Much Of That Holiday Pay Did Y'all Make?

Did all of you have a wonderful holiday with your family or did you get to sit in front of your computer all day waiting for work to come in?  If the latter, then here's a suggestion. On Webclock punch in when you started waiting and punch out at the end of your shift, unless by some small miracle you got enough work to make more than minimum wage for your shift.  It's legal, it's truthful timekeeping and they must pay you for it.  This will at the ve ...

Holiday Pto Hours?
Dec 31, 2013

I'm curious how other companies handle low work days. At the company I work for, if we have a slow day (holidays are always slow and have little to no work coming in) we are required to use PTO hours if we have them available. If we don't have PTO hours, we take the hours unpaid.  I had 12 hours of PTO.  We had no work Christmas day, and I had to use 8 hours.  I was told a few days ago that on New Years my account will have no work and I will have to use my remaining 4 h ...
