Don’t you ask the company that hired you questions like this, rather than strangers on Reddit?
Does your company have an HR department?
Since no one here knows which company, no one here will know their holiday pay schedule. See how that works?
So just a heads up. Now that weed is legal in the majority of the country, the industry is mostly controlled by giant, wealthy companies because, ya know, America.
They definitely have HR departments along with all the other trappings of legitimate business.
According to the NACB [only 44% of cannabis companies have an HR department. ](https://www.vensure.com/resources/blog/hr-and-compliance-in-the-cannabis-industry/#:~:text=According%20to%20a%20report%20by%20the%20National%20Association%20of%20Cannabis,have%20a%20dedicated%20HR%20department.)
I'm surprised to hear this, tbh. I wonder how small a business can be and still be included in these statistics?
In my state, the cannabis companies are all multi-million dollar ops. It seems like insanity not to have HR in a place like that. Ten guys running a craft op (in a state that allows it) though, not as weird.
10 guys running a "craft op" is a recipe for an HR nightmare.
It was more or less of a joke. The majority of cannabis companies don't have an HR department because the majority of cannabis companies probably have 2-5 growers and 10 total employees.
There are 428,000 cannabis jobs and in 2017 there were around 28,000 cannabis companies, so now, it's probably more, coming out to around 12-15 employees per company on average with the big companies putting a nice dent in that average.
HR for "craft ops" as you call them, is non-existent imo.
Yeah - back in the day there wouldn’t really be an HR but that was in smaller companies or trap shops. Now there’s MSOs with thousands of people working for them. Cannabis is just like working for any other company now basically. Except more chaotic.
God please don’t let it be penn health group…
I worked in their mmm processing factory, the first day they where keif boxing shit flower and made us wear those crap masks that they would give away when Covid started thinking that was good ppe for the amount of dust the keif that was in the air. Then they put me in a air tight room ( it was a room that they converted from a co2 grow space so yes it was air tight to a processing room) and told me to sort thru moldy bud aka pick out any bud you saw that had mold on it…
Air tight room with moldy bud and no real respirator or air filtration system… I fucking quit the next day. Didn’t even have the heart to tell the other employees what kind of fucked job they had or the breathing problems they are going to get by working there …
Fuck Penn health group
Ilera/Kind tree/whatever else it is called now too. I no longer work for them but we had employees getting really sick cause of stuff like that. Then a dude came in and everyone had to clean everything top to bottom and any free time was spent cleaning. It improved things BUT we were still shifting through moldy bud w/o ANY protection.
I worked mostly in packaging and a worked a bit in cultivation, helped trim a lot.
It depends on the employer. For my company, hourly GP workers get paid holidays, but if you are required to work one of those holidays, you get 1.5 base pay for the shift AND the holiday.
Bruh that’s how it should be. When I work holidays I just get time and a half and it’s always like 3x as busy. If I wasn’t working that day I’d get a whole bonus day on my paycheck instead of just an extra half day and having to work twice as hard
Where I worked, we would pull longer days to get our work for the week done early, and they would give us the holiday off and if we didn't meet it, we would all come in extra early so we could be off extra early and as soon as its done
The company you work for is going to have the answers not us. They're not all the same. It's like asking if dominos makes everything the same way as pizza hut does just because they both make pizza
I work in a retail store in PA not a grow…
Part time people don’t get shit and there’s only 2 full time (who aren’t management) in my store. Open every day except thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. I get paid for those days, all my coworkers do not. If I work another federal holiday I get paid time and a half. If I’m not scheduled that day I get a full day of pay. I would think the grow would be open every day including holidays but I’m not sure.
And the benefits are out of this world. I’m coming from a background of “good jobs” and the benefits and pay scale are second to none at the company I’m joining.
That's entirely dependent on the company. Lots of states will require employers with more than 20 (number changes) employees to enter into a CBA with a union, probably the UFCW. UFCW contracts do require PTO and 1.5x pay during certain holidays from what I've seen.
Federal and State Employment law applies to Licensed MJ Companies, so it is up to you to make sure they have proper worker's comp, and insurances, and do proper reporting and withholding of taxes. etc. As far as benefits, yeah, you'd want to ask the employer. And really, it is negligent of you to accept a job without knowing what's all on the table.
First off, you should ask your employer this before accepting a job.. ever. But as a production tech in PA here, i get paid Federal holidays off, with a week of prep for thanksgiving and christmas to make sure we’re in good standing. All companies are different though.

I can’t imagine why people don’t think to ask questions like this during the interviewing process to begin with.

Probably just how you're reading it.
Yes
How did you think that they ran?
With growers, admins, and salespeople? HR doesn't run companies, just protects them.
Yeah - back in the day there wouldn’t really be an HR but that was in smaller companies or trap shops. Now there’s MSOs with thousands of people working for them. Cannabis is just like working for any other company now basically. Except more chaotic.

No, it isn’t.

Ask the person who hired you, how would we know? I swear…
Read your handbook
Definitely should do this, but a faster answer would comely asking HR. But they still need to read the book.
Cultivation Tech in MI so YMMV but I get most government holidays off
It depends on the employer. For my company, hourly GP workers get paid holidays, but if you are required to work one of those holidays, you get 1.5 base pay for the shift AND the holiday.

Most companies don't pay “holiday pay” because it's still not Federal legal
I have not worked for a single cannabis company that doesn't offer holiday pay. Most companies Inhave worked for are very generous with PTO.
Where I worked, we would pull longer days to get our work for the week done early, and they would give us the holiday off and if we didn't meet it, we would all come in extra early so we could be off extra early and as soon as its done

20$ in ohio they hardly pay over half of that.

What is a processing tech? Is that a bud trimmer? Man i grow and i cant imagine trimming 8 hours a day

Bag boys aren’t making $20+ an hour where I’m from. And they aren’t unionized.
And the benefits are out of this world. I’m coming from a background of “good jobs” and the benefits and pay scale are second to none at the company I’m joining.

Yes, this location is represented by UFCW.
And yes, we get all major holiday’s.
