Seasonal workers may not be paid the required holiday pay during off-season when they are not at work. True or False?

The statement is true because seasonal workers are typically paid holiday pay only for the time they are actively employed, which generally does not extend to the off-season when they are not working. Holiday pay is typically tied to the actual work performed and the wages earned during the employment period. Since seasonal workers are not on the payroll during their non-working months, they would not receive holiday pay during that time. Employers are required to pay holiday pay to employees who meet certain eligibility criteria while they are actively working, not during periods of inactivity that occur during the off-season.

The other options do not accurately represent how holiday pay is applied to seasonal workers. For instance, working in the previous season does not influence entitlement if the worker is not employed during the off-season. Similarly, the employer's declaration does not affect the basic obligation regarding holiday pay when there is no work performed. Thus, the primary factor is employment status during the season rather than any external judgment or decision by the employer.
