How being a member of Teamsters Local 995 is good for you and your family:
07/13/2007 - 08. Holidays
Holidays, Guaranteed eight holidays per year paid at 2 1/2 times your hourly rate of pay when worked. You get paid for those holidays even if you are not scheduled to work that day. When the holiday coincides with the employee's 6th or 7th day of the workweek, the employee receives 3 times their hourly rate of pay for hours worked. If the holiday coincides with the employee's birthday, the employee will receive 3 1/2 times their hourly rate of pay. Nowhere is it written in the law that you will receive a special compensation for working a holiday. It is a contractual issue.
