This company has a policy, which pre-dates me, regarding Sunday pay. Most reasonable companies pay double time for Sunday work, some only pay double time if you worked every other day you were scheduled during that week but even then Sunday is time and a half.
This companies policy is assinine and completely designed to screw the employee:
First of all, Holiday pay does not factor in to overtime calculations. In other words, if we are off say on Labor day and they get Holiday Pay for that Monday, then we come back and work 8 hour days Tue-Sat, Sat is straight time because 5 days x 8 hours day= 40 actually worked, and 8 hours holiday for Monday.
Our payroll period is Sunday thru Saturday. Sunday is only double time if the employee works 7 days inone period. 99 times out of 100, we work Sunday prior to a holiday weekend in order to get production out and still have a long weekend.
We have a legitimate need to work straight through this weekend coming up, Nov 21-22. My beef is that with this assinine policy it goes like this:
The first 40 hours are straight time. Anything over 40, excluding holiday pay, is time and a half. Pay period is Sunday-Saturday. The hourly folks will work Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, then get holiday pay for Thursday Thanksgiving (but not for Friday even though the plant is down) and be off Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving. So, they will be working Sunday for straight time, not even time and a half.
Makes me hang my head in shame to call myself an officer of this chickenshit outfit sometimes.
