I have been working at a company for 15 years in Virginia.
We always get Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving and we must work Wednesday and Monday to get the holiday pay. No problem.
We were told on Friday (11/16) that they wanted volunteers for Saturday. On Monday (11/19)they told us that they were going to make Saturday a regularly scheduled work day. They do this because they can't get enough volunteers to work and won't call it mandatory so if we miss we get written up for failure to show up for work. HOWEVER, Saturday is always time and a half.
We were told we would get paid double time if we worked Friday (because it is a holiday on the schedule) and we get paid time and a half for Saturday (whether we worked Friday or not).
I overheard a supervisor tell a fellow co-worker that he would not get his holiday pay if he did not work Saturday, however this was not said to anyone else.
Not everyone is required to work. They have selected a few that is required to be there.
Can they change this without notifying everyone what they intend to do?
