Well, that time of year is fast approaching - the one where everything suddenly begins to smell of Pumpkin Spice and the decision of what to serve to the family for dinner rears its ugly head.

I am considering a free range goose, a flock of which I pass on my way to work every day and which are fattening up nicely.
Any good recipes for accompaniments would be nice.

What about you?

8 hours at time and a half

this, but at triple time

so jealous

Yes, work may detain me as well - and I won't be getting time and a half or better - but what are you EATING?

Tim Horton's Ham and Swiss with honey mustard dressing.

probably a Walmart special microwave meal

if they have a turkey dinner that's microwaveable too then i'll possibly see my way to demolishing one of those :P

Working a stat day and no extra comp?

That's what it means to be Casual, I suppose.

If not, let me know, but I have worked most of the stat holidays this year and don't remember seeing any additional money in my pay packet.

Private sector worker then and probably not unionized?

I'm a casual part-time, non-unionised worker.

And that is why you get no extra compensation for working a stat holiday.
Now those working for the Govt or certain unionized jobs will see a variety of compensation benefits when working a stat holiday.
Some find this unfair but hey nobody said life was going to be fair. Some will say the ones working on a stat holiday deserve compensating because they are forced to work while the vast majority get the day off to spend with their families.

er no. I said I am getting time and half. Pay attention.

Well, that's good for you.
Maybe you just have a generous employer?

Yup I read post #8 where it says
Working a stat day and no extra comp? instead of reading post #2
