Different holiday pay?

Is it legit for a company to offer more holidays (paid) to some departments than to others?
Where I work we have several departments-I work in the office, and the entire organization has three paid holidays after one year of service. The accounting department gets six paid holidays.
I know that no employer has to offer holiday pay AT ALL but is there some line to draw between offering more or less to some?

Wage and hour laws differ from state to state and country to country. So it depends legally on where you work. Also, it may depend on union agreements if any positions are union. What you present I have never been exposed to, and would question as to the reason for a separate benefit level for a particular group in a company - where all others receive the same benefit at a different level.

Company are not obligated to pay for any holiday pay its a benefits that companies give to their employees.

So the answer to your question is YES it is completely legal for companies to offer different amounts of holiday to other departments/sections of the business.

Nothing illegal about it.

In the UK everyone gets the same amount of holidays, as long as you work at least 16 hours per week. Once you have been in a job for 14 weeks you are entitled to 28 days paid holiday and bank holidays, it was 22 days up until October 08 when it changed to 28 days. In the UK you can contact www.acas.co.uk and it gives all the working rules and regulations. If you don't normally work on a monday and it is a bank holiday you don't get any extra days off.

I would think so, you can call the labor board without stating your name or the company that you work for. And just ask them if the company can legally do this. If not then you can take it from there as to how far you want to push this issue.
