Holiday pay

Our policy on holiday pay is that the employee must be employed for 30 days prior to the holiday to be paid. We have a new exempt employee with less than 30 days and we will be closed July 3 & 4. Do we pay the exempt ee for both days regardless of our policy?

So the short answer is - we pay it.
Three holidays? Ouch.
Exempt employees must be paid for the entire week if they work any part of it (except 1st week and last week of work). Whether you charge it to holiday pay or not is up to you. They get the same amount either way.
If I am wrong, let the barage begin!

I think you're right on - exempts receive their salary and you can call it holiday pay or whatever, as long as you don't dock them.
(Assuming that if they don't receive holiday pay yet, they probably don't have any accumulated vacation time or anything yet. If they did have vac time, that bank could be deducted in lieu of holiday pay and they'd still get their week's salary. But I digress.)
Better? Or do I still not make sense? :>)
