Technical school shuts down holiday week not getting paid -- is this legal?
|
The excuse is only 2.5 mos at work only so they say they are not entitled to pay - not even for Xmas or New Years days - they are closed the remainder of the week. Not getting paid for 7 work days - is this legal - they never said anything during interview/ hiring. If anything that was a selling point that they give that week off! Any input??

It is a week off. They didn't say a paid week off, right? |

If they don't have an employment manual outlining their policy on when they close, they can certainly do it. In my tech support position, I'm working the night shift, but two people who worked the evening shift were asked not to come in until the start of busy season, because the phones were quiet and the company had enough coverage all ready for the call volume. It's legal. |

I work in the automotive industry. They hire temps to hire and they have to work 60 days with the temp serv, Then I think 6 weeks as a pre-reg employee. After that, they are hired on a full time basis. Then they will get paid holidays. They have hired a lot of ppl there.Some ppl will not get paid during the Christmas holidays. Just because they did not get their probation time in before the holidays. It depends on your probation period, Could be six months... |
