I work at a hotel in Santa Cruz , Ca. When i asked my managers about holiday pay they said hotels are exempt??

Question

Is this true? I cant seem to find the answer online HELP!!

Answer 1

Hotels are not exempt from Holiday Pay necessarily.  But some companies or franchises may not have Holiday Pay as a benefit.  Holiday Pay is not like Overtime, where the business will be penalized or fined if they do not pay for it.  It's more of a benefit to be paid extra for working a Holiday or to be paid for having a Holiday off.  I would consult the employee handbook to see if your hotel's franchise or the management company offers Holiday pay as a benefit.  

Hope this helps!
