I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

Alright, last week I put in 48 hours. They don't really want you to put in over 45 hours this time of year because they don't sell as much (I work at a beverage distribution company), but you get paid nonetheless. They deduct 2.5 hours for lunch each week.

Here's my problem. Everyone was off on Christmas and got paid holiday... except me. It's not probation because my brother started at the same time and he got paid holiday.

Is it legal or even ethical for them to not give me a paid holiday just because I worked a few hours overtime? Can I do something about it or take legal action?

I've got a fan!

If holiday pay isn't in your contract then you won't get it. I'd ask your manager and see why you didn't get it. It also differs by company...some get 8 hours added to their paycheck for getting Christmas off, some get time and a half for working on or around the holidays.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

don't know where you live and what union you're in

I live in Florida, don't know what union (if I'm in one).

My brother works with me and he got paid.

Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.

I would think you'd be paid for the 45 hours at very least.

From what my brother is telling me, I don't get it since I worked overtime...

So what, had I worked 45 hours and had 2.5 deducted, I'd only have gotten 2.5 hours holiday pay?
