Add Comment Question: I work as an independent contractor for a Big 5 Bank. I obtained the role through an agency and I receive payment from them. I worked the stat holiday on Thanksgiving. Am I entitled to the stat pay in addition to my regular pay for that day. Answer: If you truly are an independant contractor, and not an employee, then the answer is no. However, I'd encourage you to give us a call at the number below and discuss your situation in more detail. It could be that, despite your 'contractor' status, the law may view you as an employee.
