Seeing this post made me flash back to how often wage theft happened to me during holidays as a teenager.

4th of July, New Year’s… Didn’t even know about time and a half.

    Usually, you’d get your holiday pay at 1x that everyone gets and then you’d get 1.5x for working the holiday.

      Exactly, I was confused by their warning because actually working a holiday at whatever rate shouldn’t (and in most cases doesn’t) make you forfeit any holiday pay benefit that all employees get.

        but if you’re going to get regular 1x pay and get a day off, those that work for 1.5x are only working for half pay if you remove the 1x from everyone. take a day off instead and get paid.
