Workers who are not required to work on special days are entitled to compensation. True or False?

The assertion that workers who are not required to work on special days are entitled to compensation is false. Generally, an employee is only entitled to compensation for work actually performed. If they are not scheduled or required to work on special days, they do not earn wages for that time, unless specified otherwise by an employment contract or collective bargaining agreement (CBA).

Compensation for special days typically requires that employees are available for work or that the compensation conditions are clearly outlined in a contract or CBA. Therefore, without a requirement for work or a provision in an agreement that dictates otherwise, no compensation is owed for those days not worked. This aligns with labor standards that differentiate between actual work performed and days when the employee is not obligated to fulfill work duties.
