Bad news - we might still be closed tomorrow. If that happens - even though it's not our fault - the temp agency won't pay me for the Memorial Day holiday becasue I didn't work the day before adn after.

Crap.

      - I gather there was a fort there during the French and Indian War. I could be in the wrong part of the state though. -- nm - Diva May 21, 08:16
that's a ridiculous holiday policy, even for a temp agency. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 07:44 3
- When I temped I never recd Holiday pay. -- nm - Diva May 21, 07:50 1
  - that makes more sense from a policy standpoint, but if you're going to give holiday pay don't jack your employees on it for something like this. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 07:59
- We used to be the same way. -- nm - Jelly May 21, 07:48
Wow, I didn't know temps even paid for holidays. Sucks though you might not get paid. - Redmond May 21, 07:44 2
- We get holiday pay after working 1200 hrs. -- nm - kelly May 21, 08:32
- I didn't even notice that. Yeah, as a temp, I don't get paid for Monday even though we're closed. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 07:53
