How many paid holidays are you suppose to have in texas?

lol LOL LOL I wish paid holidays were a requirement. You earn leave but usually after being at the company for a while. Also it is usually based on the hours you worked the previous year. It all depends on the company you work for.

This didn't mention anything about now, but has records for previous years. The Bottom link says 14 in California and they say that's 2nd to Texas. Overall I think about 50

Friday is one of the few holidays my company observes.  Howerver, there are many offices who like to keep a skeleton crew on Friday, day after turkey day.  To me, it's a waste of time unless you have a lot of filing or work to catch up.  The phones won't be ringing because most people (non-retail) are off on Friday.

This does vary from state to state but in Cal it is solely on Base pay only.  There has been legislation in the past that was trying to change this but then it got put to the side and a new administration came in.  Sorry, I know this is not the answer you were looking for.

1-2 weeks vacation plus holidays:\n\nChristmas (sometimes another day before or after)\nNew Year's\nMemorial Day (some businesses)\nMartin Luther King Day (some businesses)\nJuly 4th\nLabor Day\nThanksgiving (and sometimes the day after)\n\nALL European countries give employees MUCH more time off -- 4-5 weeks, usually.  In USA, you usually have to work 15-20 years before you get that much.

1. Not really, because we have a very generous annual leave entitlement. The law gives us four weeks (20 working days for most office workers). A lot of people get 25 days and more for length of service. So when a calendar month has 22 or 23 working days, we are looking at a nation of workers who have over one month off every year, and at times we can largely choose. On top of that we have eight public holidays, and the three which can fall at weekends are protected by days in lieu. This then becomes 33 days (25+8), which is the equivalent of 1½ months out of 12, or one day in every eight.\n\n2. When you look at the USA, for example, what they have is rubbish (or should I say garbage?). It is something like this. They have lots of public holidays - I forget how many, but let's say 16. None of those days are protected so maybe 12 fall on weekdays. On top of that they get two weeks holiday (10 days). The result is they get a total of 22 working days which is the equivalent of 1 month out of 12, or one day in every twelve. I know which I find more attractive.\n\n3. Maybe we don't get the best overall leave, but I bet we are amongst the top nations of the world.

Yes there are 53 Fridays in the year 2004, if you start paying on the first Friday in July 2002 for 4 years or 208 weeks, You will be done on June 23, 2006.  Just like you said.  I did the calculation myself, you are correct.  Hope this helps. Explanation below:\n\nThe are only 52 weeks out of a year (365 days or 366 in case of a leap year divided by 7 days in a week equals 52 weeks).  It truly depends on when you pay.  Example if you paid someone every other week, bi-weekly, on Fridays, there will be times when you pay out 27 times in a year rather than 26 that typically happens.  Therefore, to answer your question yes you may have 53 payouts in one year.

State Employees get paid the day before a holiday.  If they normally get paid on a Friday and it is a holiday, they get paid that Thursday.  They always get paid BEFORE the due payday, never after.\n\n(Teachers are State Employees, I am also a State Employee)

Go to work!  I'm completely baffled as to why this is a question!  If you don't get the holiday, then work.  Just because your company policy is different from others doesn't mean you should get the day off too.

This isn't a legal issue, it's a company policy issue.  If you are on salary they have to pay you the whole day, because you showed up; however, they can also charge your vacation time for the hours not worked.

It depends on the company of course, but as a general rule, you - if vacation time is one of the written benefits, you should receive payment for the vacation time equal to your rate of pay.  This is also dependent upon your state's employment laws.  I know that in California, I was able to file a complaint when I didn't receive my vacation compensation and it was ordered to be paid.

Actually nothing. The budget is set for salaries for the year and it includes days off.

Working in resturants, no way! If u are scheduled normally for that day, u won;t be paid. But I have never heard of a resturant\npaying u for time and a half. Sounds like a dream job!\nI have worked 30 years on and off and usually it's madatory to\nworl holidays, if they paided u it was because they wanted too!

Yes.  You can find out more by doing a search for your state's "Department of Wage & Hour."  Typically these sites have Q&As for common questions.  THe general rule, which varis by state, is that no vacation is required, unless guaranteed by the vacation policy.  As long as their vacation policy allows them to do so, they can limit vacation use.

Each state has a minimum number of days required for attendance, and all schools in the state have to abide by that.  Not all holidays or holy days, or religious observances are recognized for the purpose of a day off, and each year the State Board of Education determines what days will and won't be days off.  On days not recognized as free days, you would be required to attend or be counted absent.  So yes, it is legal.  That said, I can't imagine they actually intended you to attend on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I expect it is a misunderstanding or simply an oversight on somebody's part.   Check with who ever is in charge of the program, and get the answer you need.  There has to be a human responsible for oversight and that's the person you need to talk to- preferably before Thursday.   It's not whining, it's an honest request for information and clarification of the rules.   After all- what are you supposed to do if you actually get ill?  I don't imagine they want you lugging the keyboard and monitor into the bathroom and typing in between retches?  So some provisions have to be made, and you just need to find out what those are.  Just remember to be polite when you ask- they can't get upset with an honest, polite question.

vacation benefits per year usually assume you will work all year to earn it. if you get 2 weeks vacation per year, but only work 6 months, you are entitled to 1 weeks vacation pay. if you feel you were not paid properly, you can call the human resources department and ask them to explain the policy. if you still feel something is not right, contact you state's wage and hour board to file a complaint. they will investigate it for you.

There are no labor laws regarding vacations. Check with the department of labor for regulations, such as minimum wage and overtime after 40 hours.
