slo’s WEDNESDAY 11/23 poll - Thanksgiving Time Off Work

[BLTtinkerbell]

I’m a teacher - Early dismal today, school closed Thursday & Friday.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

We get off on Thursday and Friday for the holiday don’t work weekends.

I'm a teacher and there we are off Wed, Thurs and Fri, plus the usual Sat and Sun.

I get both Thursday and Friday off as paid holiday. Saturday and Sunday are normal days off.




I actually think the opposite is true, except for government agencies. Most employers are business as usual on Friday. This my first employer to give Friday off as a paid holiday. My last employer I took Friday off but had to use my leave time.

Live and learn. My company has two business units in the States; one in Austin and one in Long Beach. They get the Friday (and all the legal holidays in their states), and also get Canadian Thanksgiving off (2nd Monday in October; as well as all Canadian civic holidays) due to our corporate calendar. Lucky them!

Private businesses in the US are not required to give any holidays off paid or not. Yes, we have federal and state holidays but there are not required to be given as days off.
