I have a question for those of you with employees. We recently hired our first full time hourly employee. Here is her compensation package:
$10.00/hr 2 weeks "flex" time after 1 year (1 week of "flex" time is earned after 6 months) IRA contribuation no insurance $100 every 6 months towards shirts for work other added "perks" I didn't even think about how to handle holiday pay when we came up with her offer. So, my question is...should I pay her holiday pay for Labor Day; Memorial Day; 4th of July; Thanksgiving; Christmas; New Years? She is not a salaried employee. We are open on Saturdays so she would have the option of making up the time on the weekend for days like Labor Day, Memorial Day, and 4th of July if we chose not to pay her for these days. Also, how should I handle the days that we typically shut down...ie: day after Thanksgiving and the week between Christmas and New Years? Should I feel obligated to pay her for those days as well? If she was a salaried employee we would pay her holiday pay, but since she is an hourly employee I am not sure that we should feel like we have to pay her. But I want to be fair and she is a really good employee so I don't want her to go somewhere else. I just want to get an idea of what is typical for full time hourly employees as far as holiday pay is concerned. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
