"With pay providing you have annual leave accrued to cover 8 hours. If not, you don’t get paid and the bosses are pissed that you didnt have 8 hours saved up."
That would be if it was a "liberal leave" policy, this is an administrative holiday instead.
I’m in the property management business. My boss issued a memo last week declaring December 24th as a “day off” on him. There is always a maintenance person on call to change lightbulbs, respond to floods, etc.
We all personally thanked the boss....he’s a good guy!
