You think private employers don’t give a day off when a holiday falls on the weekend? Sure they do.
We have 12 holidays a year. This year, the powers that be decided to forego President’s Day back in the dreary days of February so we could have a 4-day Independence day holiday. So we’re off the 2nd and 3rd. Hence today is Hump Day Thursday.
I will ask my brother if he is off in OH on Friday. i am not saying that NO private employers give it off, i am skeptical that it’s common practice in areas that are not gov’t related. in our area most employers have some nexus to the gov’t and with the gov’t off on a fed holiday, it makes sense for them to close. i know that our kids get days off school that my nieces and nephew never did, based on the same principle.
Yeah, but they don't usually give TWO days off.
