Perils of Part-tim Work, Part I

We had a big week this past week at work so our CEO gave everyone the day off. Supposedly he sent out an email to everyone that I didn’t see. Then the VP of HR sent out a more detailed email that I also didn’t see. I usually read emails from both those people so I’m not sure what happened. Anyway, Friday (today) was classified as a paid holiday, which I think I won’t get paid since I switched to part-time this week. What shitty timing. I’m not sure how this works though. If I’m getting paid 75% of my salary, does that mean I get a day taken off my pay? So instead of paying me 30 out of 40 hours, I only get paid 22 hours? Also, since I didn’t know about the “holiday”, I scheduled a bunch of calls to external suppliers and was answering emails. It wasn’t a full-day but I worked quite a bit today. I was also wondering why I wasn’t getting the regular volume of emails. Duh!
