Hello everyone!
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!!!!!!
So, I was scrolling through my calendar and taking a look at Christmas dates for 2016 and stumbled across something confusing. Christmas Day is a STAT holiday BUT it falls under a Sunday. In my contract I have it stated that if a Stat holiday falls under a weekend then I get the Monday off AND paid for. In this case Monday is boxing day so ANOTHER stat holiday that we automatically get paid for if we get paid for stat days. So what happens to the Christmas stat?
This would mean that if we go by my contract for that Monday clients would have to pay double 1) for Monday being boxing day stat and 2) because a stat holiday fell under a weekend. This to me feels wrong.
This is the clause I have in my contract : "For STAT days that fall under a weekend, Monday after in lieu of that holiday the daycare will be closed and payment for all STAT days even lieu are required before holiday"
I have been doing daycare for 4 years now and never came across anything like this. If it's day unpaid well then oh well but I just want to be prepared to change my contract in the event it happens again.
I would love to know your thoughts and ideas
