Seeing this post made me flash back to how often wage theft happened to me during holidays as a teenager.

4th of July, New Year's... Didn't even know about time and a half.

I think they are trying to say people got 1x holiday pay for the day off so if you worked and got 1.5x you only were really getting half time.

Ya where I live you are supposed to get the day with pay and then if you work that day you get 1.5x on top of that for basically 2.5x
