December 26th- Taking the day off?

[SteveG]

Only Monday 25th is a paid holiday everywhere. That leaves December 26th 'Joy and Hangover and Boxing Day' officially a work day.

In the places I've worked, many people take it as a personal day or vacation day.

What are your plans?

[Tiangou]

I "earn" PTO based on hours worked.

I need to be careful how I "spend" it so that I can have a spare day for a sick day or doctor's appointment or travel for a funeral as these things happen.

So, I'm NOT taking an extra day for the holiday.

I’m out the entire week; got New Year’s Day off, and the following day as well. I don’t work on my birthday.

I usually take the whole week between Christmas and New Year's off (same this year). We can only roll over a max. number of accrued hours off and I never use it all during the rest of the year. Since my part time teaching job is in between semesters over the holidays I can actually get a whole week 100% off from both jobs.

In my old office job, we got an extra day if the holiday fell on a Tuesday or Thursday; sometimes if it fell on a Monday.

Since I work for myself and people always need me on holidays: no time off. I've worked every major holiday since mid-2006.

We get the week off.

And I take the week before as vacation.

And I don't work Fridays.

And I take vacation on Thursdays in December.

It's nice having 5 weeks of vacation and only working 30 hours a week.

Before I retired I took the whole week or so off. After the end of the semester my hours would change from evenings to daytime for the Winter break, just didn't want to deal right away with the time shift. Also I was earning 5 weeks of vacation time a year by then, hard to take much time other than then and during the Summer.

my brother is working on the 24th, the night shift. Triple overtime. He'll make a grand. If they go over 8 hours, no clue what he'll make.
