At our car dealership, sales people had to work on the day after Thanksgiving, while office staff received a paid holiday. Is this right?
It is legal to offer different benefits to workers in different positions — including different paid holidays. As long as all the office staff was paid for the holiday, and all the sales people were not paid, that would be entirely legal. If male sales people were paid for the holiday, but not females with the same job, that would be illegal discrimination.
This is a very uncommon way to handle paid holidays. Normally, all employees within the organization receive the same paid holidays. An hourly employee who works on the holiday is simply paid an additional 8 hours of straight time, over and above what they worked. Salaried employees receive their full pay, even if they work only 4 days that week.
