QUESTION
Can an exempt employee be denied Holiday pay if under the 90 probationary period at start of hire?
Asked on Jun 16th, 2023 on Labor and Employment - California
More details to this question:
I am an exempt employee recently hired in Sacramento, CA. My employer deducted one days equivalent pay from my paycheck for the Memorial Day holiday as company policy is not to pay Holiday pay for the first 90 days of employment. This sounds like a policy for hourly employees. Is this policy legal for exempt employees as well?

If your employer is a private entity, there is no law that says they need to pay holiday pay. Each company can set their policy about this.
The question is more whether you are properly an exempt employee.
Check your employment handbook whether it applies to all employees.
