I work when the stock market is open so I tend to get an extra "holiday" or two than normal. Definitely don't mind at all!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-work-on-the-holidays#post-892657 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:02:54 +0000 ShootingStar 892657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have to because the office will be closed. But since I'm a contractor I can choose to work at home and still get paid. I was considering doing that for the weekend of the 4th since we're closed the 5th too, but I think I need a break more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-work-on-the-holidays#post-892645 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:00:27 +0000 Bookish 892645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the holiday. I get off:</p> <p>MLK Day<br /> Sometimes Memorial Day<br /> July 4th unless it's a weekend<br /> 2 days for Thanksgiving<br /> 5-7 days for Xmas + New Year's<br /> 1-2 days for spring break</p> <p>I work at a University, so they are very generous with some holidays (helloo week off at the end of the year!) but we don't get off Labor Day, Good Friday, anything like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-work-on-the-holidays#post-892557 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:26:53 +0000 MapleMoose 892557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I worked at the hospital I had to work holidays.

I'll most likely be using them for around Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-work-on-the-holidays#post-892538 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:19:23 +0000 Smurfette 892538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same days as @Adira: plus Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve Then we get 1 floating holiday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-work-on-the-holidays#post-892534 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:17:34 +0000 Adira 892534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the following holidays off:</p> <p>New Year's Day<br /> Memorial Day<br /> Indepedence Day<br /> Labor Day<br /> Thanksgiving Day<br /> Day after Thanksgiving<br /> Christmas Day</p> <p>Plus 3 floating holidays that I can use like vacation days.

DH has to request to work but all of his coworkers with more seniority snag the shifts for the time and a half pay! </p>
