Hey, Dan. My attendants get paid through the state through a program I'm in.
Way too many hours for me to afford. I asked my attendant about your email and
if they get paid for holidays. From what I understand, they will starting next
year but currently don't. Don't really know exactly what to tell you with our
circumstances being so different but I have learned over the years to sit down
with one, all, or some, and discuss what you think would be fair while still
listening to their opinions. I'm sure you could come to an understanding where
everyone benefits and everything is understood so you can avoid issues in the
future. Good luck… Jeff

Hi all, Been a while since I've been on this list, I hope you all are well.
Just curious how many of you, if any, pay your CNAs time and a half on
holidays? If so, which holidays do you pay it? I ask because one of my CNAs
(morning CNA) mentioned it last Easter, saying she should be getting holiday
pay because of the Easter holiday. Thing is, she's been working for me for
several years now and never mentioned it before and I never paid any of my CNAs
holiday pay and never offered. Because she's an excellent CNA and had been
complaining about her hourly pay, I decided to give her and the evening CNA the
holiday pay.
Problem is, the evening CNA then started asking about holiday pay on Memorial
Day and I'm sure they'll be expecting it on Independence day. I'm not going to
pay them time and a half every holiday, probably just the major holidays like
Christmas, New Year's, Thanksgiving Etc. Just curious how others handle the
situati on? What, if any holidays do you pay your CNAs time and a half holiday
pay? While we're on the subject of pay, can I ask how much you pay your CNAs
per hour? I pay mine $25 an hour which I thought was decent. I get 2 hours of
care in the morning and 1 hour at night. Thanks for any info!
