I live in Rice Lake, WI and I worked Christmas day for a few hours and my company did not give extra Holiday compensation forworking a holiday. Is that legal?

 

Optional Information:
Rice Lake, Wisconsin

Already Tried:
I called my supervisor and she called HR management. They said that since I hadn't been there for 3 months I was not entitled to that pay. I did not think that was legal. I thought it had to be paid regardless. I am a part-time employee at a hotel. I work as a desk clerk

Did you get paid your hourly rate?

What state is this in, so I can research the applicable law.

Do you bean a holiday bonus by the term Holiday compensation? Please clarify.

Yes, I am sorry that I did not make that clear.

Any job that I have worked in the past, I get paid extra for working on a holiday. Not a bonus. My sisters husband gets paid time and a half when he works on a holiday. Is that standard procedure? Is there a law that requires employers to pay what I deem as holiday pay?

I am a resident of Rice Lake, WI.

Thank you for your patience. Missouri does not have any specific law regarding holiday pay. Further it provides that Missouri employers are only to pay overtime only when the total hours have exceeded 40 hours a week. It further states there is no overtime to be paid on a daily basis.

However, it does provide that if the employer stated he would pay a certain rate as a holiday compensation but fails to pay that rate, that the employee has the right to file a claim disputing the wages.

The following website provides the labor laws for Missouri and where you can contact for additional information or to dispute your wages.

Again to answer your question there is no law specifically requiring the employer to provide holiday pay.
