Ok so I started a new job in.... June? July? something like that. Anyway, I'm a salaried employee, etc. etc.
Now, upon the agreement when I signed up, I'd be making 24k a year (not much, i know.)
Well, I started work on a Tuesday. First paycheck rolls around, and they docked my check a day for not having worked that day. I figured whatever, and rolled with it.
Now, the business was CLOSED on labor day. Completely closed, company wide. It's on our yearly work holiday list, with the words "holiday" next to it. The way I was told, holidays we all get paid for. Some, like Christmas, have a PTO holiday right after, which means that the store will still be closed, but in order to get paid for that off day, you have to use PTO time. Labor day is just listed as a regular holiday. Which means I shouldn't have to use PTO time in order to get paid. I check my paycheck today, and it shows me as being a day short. I ask the HR lady, and she says she had to short me a day because I'm not eligible for holiday pay yet.
Is this legal? I'm completely confused. I thought salary meant I was paid x amount per check no matter what. Apparently I'm misinformed?

I know at my job you're not eligable for a paid sick day for the first 90 days, let alone vacation or holiday pay, and if you're a contractor it's best to just bring your own lube cause god knows they aren't going to use any of theirs while they rape you.
It's a bitch that they didn't tell you about it, but AFAIK they didn't break any laws.
Of course, this is my experience only. Take it all with a big dose of IANAL.

But about the salaried thing. I thought you were paid the same amount regardless of hours worked?
If I'm being paid 24k a year, and they are cutting days here and there, it wont BE 24k a year, and they're not living up to their end of the bargain
As for being on salary, you can be docked hours for days you don't work.
Go back to HR and ask when you are eligible to receive Holiday pay.
That and to set a stand schedule your paid salary as a way for them to expect at minimum 40hrs of work. There isn't call bob and see if he can fill in for me. Its I am working 8-5 and if I miss a day sick I lose a vacation day and such.
