I work for a company that supplies product to an automotive manufacturing plant. I work onsite at this automotive manufacturing plant and the company I work for is actually located in a different state. Well, this manufacturing plant will be shut down from Dec23-Jan1 for the holidays.

I get holiday pay for Dec24, 25, 31, and Jan 1, but I'm wondering about the other days I don't get holiday pay for (23rd, 26th, 27th, and 30th). Would I need to use my vacation time to get paid for these 4 days, or should I expect to be paid since I'm exempt?

When I was hired my manager told me, "even if the plant is not running I will get paid for the day". However, HR sent a company wide email a week ago reminding everyone to save some vacation time if you plan on getting paid for those 4 days.

This is my first job that is salary and I'm not familiar with the rules.

This is normal practice and is covered by FSLA. However, you should check with local and state laws.

You would use your vacation. While you are exempt, that doesn't mean they'll pay you for not showing up. That time off has to be accounted for somehow.

Amazingly enough the company that you actually work for who pays your salary would know the answers to your questions.
So the best thing to do is call the company you work for and ASK THEM.

HR sent you a letter telling you the answer. Seems like your question has been answered by the only ones that matter.

What mannerly said. HR is responsible for communicating and enforcing the rules.

Your boss was speaking imprecisely when you were hired, not creating a verbal contract.
