Time off for the Holidays - what is your company doing?
Thanksgiving is on its usual Thursday this year, but Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are on Wednesday's this year. Are you giving employees Christmas Day off, if so, how about the day after, which is a Friday. And the same for New Year's. And, are you planning on giving employees the day off with pay or without?
Remember, if exempt employees work at all in a workweek, they must be paid for the entire week. Further, if you require employees to take a vacation or PTO day, the DLSE strongly advises giving employees at least 90 days notice of this requirement.
What are employers doing?
Due to work slowdowns caused by the Boeing strike, we are taking Wednesday before Thanksgiving in addition to Thursday and Friday
We will be taking Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and New Years Day off as normal holidays. Fridy 12/26 Monday-Wednesday 12/29-31 and Friday 1/2 we will be shut down and employees will be on mandatory vacation days.
Since this was not planned from the beginning of the year, employees who do not have sufficient vacation time will be allowed to go in the hole.
