President's Day
For all IAPE-represented employees in the US, Monday, February 16, 2009 is President's Day — and a holiday under the terms of the IAPE contract.
If you have to work on President's Day you are entitled to Holiday Pay.
From the contract, Article VIII-A Holidays.
"When an Employee is required to work on any of the above-mentioned holidays, he or she shall be paid at the rate of 1 1/2 times the regular straight time rate for his or her regularly assigned daily hours and at double the regular straight time for hours worked in excess of that time. Also, he or she shall be given another day off or an additional day's pay at straight time rates, at the discretion of the Company."
Time and a half for the day — PLUS another day off or a day's pay at straight time.
It's your money — guaranteed — all you have to do is file for it.
As always, if you have a problem, call the office at 609-275-6020,
