Reply To: Are you required to Pay employees for Chol Hamoed?

My friend told me that the boss agreed to pay for Rosh Hashanah when they hired and he backed off when Rosh Hashanah approached and told them they would not be paid(Chol Hamoed was never discussed)

Frankly I have worked for both jews and non-jews and generally except a couple of times, I never had an employee handbook either describing the work envoirment, Benefits were generally sort of informal so I dont begrudge my friend for not getting this in writing and as some have said, they did need a job when this offer came. You do have to be thankful to have a job in this environment.
