QUESTION
I worked New Years Day. My coworkers who did not are getting holiday pay, and I am not. Am I entitled to holiday pay?

More details to this question:
My employer offers holiday pay for certain holidays, including New Years. They do not offer time and a half for holidays worked. I found out today that I am not getting any more pay than I would have for staying home yesterday. PA law says " If your employer has a policy to pay holidays and you are required to work on a holiday, you would receive straight time for the hours you worked and then payment according to the employer's policy for the holiday. You could receive straight time for eight hours of work and straight time for eight hours of holiday pay." Does that mean that I should be getting paid my regular pay PLUS holiday pay?

Yes, you should have received double pay. If your employer is not honoring that, contact your local labor department office:
