FWIIW... my brother is an Ironworker. Labor day is specific mentioned in the union contract.
If he has to work on Labor day, it is triple time. And, he can only work on Labor Day in an emergency circumstance (loss of life or property). -----Original Message----- From: Cameron Childress [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 2:10 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Do you charge Double or Triple time on weekends/public holidays? As an employer, you are generally only *required* to pay overtime rates if an employee works more than 40 hours in a week, regardless of what day or time those hours were logged. This is the legal minimum required, which may or may not represent the "norm". You can find alot of detail about that here: http://www.dol.gov/compliance/topics/wages-overtime-pay.htm Of course, an employee or contractor can negotiate other agreements. As far as the "norm" for this, I did know people in high school who worked at grocery stores where they got paid extra if they worked Sundays (but not Saturdays). I would assume this would be more common for lower skilled/paid roles where employees need financial motivation to work a less pleasant shift. As a IT contractor, it could also be common to see "penalty rates" such as the ones Maureen pointed out for stupidity or other such non-sense. I don't think you were really asking about contractors though - more about employees. -Cameron On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 4:47 PM, Vivec<[email protected]> wrote: > > I know the answer will differ if you are a sole contractor as compared to if > you are working within or running a company. > > But from a company perspective, what is the industry norm regarding client > mandates and requests for Weekend/Public Holiday work? > > Is it Double Time or Triple? > > Is this determined by the Employee agreement?
