Practice question
A covered daily-paid employee was on approved leave with pay on the workday immediately preceding a valid regular holiday and does not work on the holiday. No other disqualification exists. Is the paid leave alone a reason to deny holiday pay?
- Yes, any absence defeats entitlement
- No, paid leave on that preceding workday satisfies the relevant attendance condition
- Yes, unless the employee works overtime later
- Yes, because only physical attendance can satisfy the condition
- No, but only if the employee agrees to waive annual leave
