Friday, 4th of July Holiday pay for a salaried employee

Hey everyone,

What do you think about this? I'm a salaried individual. My work week used to be Monday through Friday, however a couple of months ago, my work week changed to Sunday through Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as my days off.

As you know, the 4th of July holiday fell on a Friday. All of the employees with the typical work week, worked 4 days of the work week (Mon-Thurs) and were paid for the 4th of July Holiday off. I however, worked 5 days that week, with the holiday being one of my normal days off.

I turned in my salaried time sheet indicating that I had worked the full 40 hours, but also added the paid holiday on the card to be paid for 48 hours total. In viewing my automatic payroll deposit today, I see that I was NOT paid for the extra day and am a bit upset! I know that salaried individuals don't get paid 'over time' however, I feel that this situation is different and I should be paid for the full 48 hours. What do you think?
