Our contract holiday pay policy states: To receive holiday pay, employees must work their last scheduled shift before the holiday and the first scheduled shift following the holiday.

If I was on funeral leave or sick leave I would be paid my holiday pay. How is FMLA any different?
I was on FMLA one Christmas and my contract says the same thing. I did not get the holiday pay because I was on FMLA the day before and after the holiday. I called my BA and he said that was right and nothing I could do about it. You can miss the day before and or the day after as long as that day is paid. Vac, Sick Day, Funeral ect...FMLA is no holiday pay. Also while on FMLA they can force your vacation on you on the FMLA days that you take off.
