So if your on the clock, you wouldn't get paid? Really?
If you're not at work, you're not on the clock.
You're right....no production which hurts the business and has to pay holiday pay for people not working, again, not good for the business. Most businesses in America are not flush with cash. sheesh
As I stated earlier in the thread, I don't support making election day a holiday (and one of the reasons for that is the output loss). However, I don't see why you insist on thinking workers would be paid when not at work.
