<prompt> Human: hey everybody, so it has come to my attention that I may not be getting paid holiday pay, even thought I am working on holidays, such as Christmas. My co-worker said that it was because I am a part time employee. I have this job while I attend college and during the school year, I work 24 hoursweek, but now that I am on winter break, I am working 40 hoursweek. To the best of my knowledge, working over 30 hours per week is considered full time so I should be getting holiday pay. If anyone has any advice or knowledge to share it would be greatly. appreciated. I live and work in Washington, DC if that helps  <response>: Holiday Pay is typically considered overtime pay or double pay at the companys discretion. Its the companys choice whether they pay that or not. Holidays arent recognized under federal law as any different than a regular business day. Theres no legal implications with holiday pay whether you are Part-time or Full-time. The reason why the Full-time workers are getting paid holiday pay is not because of their Full-time work schedule; its solely up to the company.
