I've worked two jobs where I did, an one where I would have if I was full time. (I was per diem in a hospital, generally four days per week.) Only my high school job (food service/retail) didn pay holidays, but they stayed open on holidays. googly-eyes on "Do your daycare teachers get paid holidays off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-daycare-teachers-get-paid-holidays-off#post-1336259 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:40:22 +0000 googly-eyes 1336259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When I worked in one I got them. looch on "Do your daycare teachers get paid holidays off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-daycare-teachers-get-paid-holidays-off#post-1336091 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:50:33 +0000 looch 1336091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Huh, I have no idea! I am not sure if they're paid hourly or on salary. I am going to guess they're hourly. I agree with @mrs. wagon: I am a contractor and I don't get paid for days I don't work, which is good and bad...I can take a day off with no guilt but I don't get paid for holidays. autumnlove on "Do your daycare teachers get paid holidays off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-daycare-teachers-get-paid-holidays-off#post-1336081 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:46:50 +0000 autumnlove 1336081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm not sure but I think it is standard! mrs. wagon on "Do your daycare teachers get paid holidays off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-daycare-teachers-get-paid-holidays-off#post-1336048 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:39:43 +0000 mrs. wagon 1336048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not sure, not even sure if our daycare pays their workers hourly or whatnot. As an hourly worker, I don't expect to be paid for any hours I'm not working, holidays or whatever. But that's standard for contractors in my industry, at least. So whenever we get notice about a free holiday declared by the company, everyone is happy but me! They get the day off, and I do too, but I lose that pay! But it all comes with the territory. mediagirl on "Do your daycare teachers get paid holidays off?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-daycare-teachers-get-paid-holidays-off#post-1336021 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:32:46 +0000 mediagirl 1336021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ours do not. They work more than 40 hours a week (from what I can see) and they have told me that they don't get paid for the days daycare closes. But we pay for those days. So, we figured it up. If there are 15 kids in each room and there are 5 rooms, the daycare owners are raking in $36,000 for not being open for those days they have as holidays each year. I'm not sure how I feel about this...even though I *think* it's standard practice? Note: this is just for child care centers, not nannies, in home situations, etc.
