Actually **lezlers** , from what I can gather from the US department of labour website, employers are _NOT_ compelled to pay a premium rate for holiday work, unless that work excedes the usual 40 hour work week. (the info I quoted was for Canada)

This is why I like Canada. Canada is good. It may be fargin’-ass-bastage cold, but at least we get paid a premium for holidays.

Well then I guess I DON’T stand corrected.

See what happens when you’re too lazy to look shit up yourself? You end up admitting you’re wrong when you’re not!
