Re: How many Holidays do you get at work?

I get 8 holidays... but I guess you could count that as 10 or 11. I get the day after Thanksgiving, too, plus I normally get 2 or 2.5 days each for Christmas and New Year's.

8 holidays (i usually work the holidays though- at time and a half- and bank the day off)

DH gets 13 holidays, i think. I'm jealous sometimes, but i get 7 weeks vacation, so i guess i can't really complain (but, i still do anyway Chat Icon )

Re: How many Holidays do you get at work?

it's really up to me- I am my own boss

this is the first year- so I am taking it as I go- I worked today- didn't see a reason not- I don't make a salary- so if I don't work- that is less of a chance for me to make money

I think I will work presidents day as well

if people are off and it not a religious holiday- it's a good day for me to work

So, I was wrong--we finally go the 2009 schedule & it is 13 plus one floater for 2009--and it used to be 12 plus one floater.
