•  Employees will have weekends off

When asked on Quora ‘How many days of holiday do workers in the USA get?’ on December 24th Lara Replied

“As in recognized holidays like Federal holidays?

0–11, depending on the company/employer, the local labor laws, and whether or not a holiday falls on a regularly scheduled day off. I have worked for companies that gave ZERO holidays off. Easter, Xmas, etc. were not holidays, they were regular work days. No holiday pay, no time-and-a-half pay, nothing special or extra to acknowledge it was a holiday.I have worked places that might give 1 or 2 holidays a year off, depending on when the holidays fell.

I have worked for companies that gave 1 or 2 holidays a year off with holiday pay and ones that only paid holiday pay if it wasn’t an employee’s regularly scheduled day off. If the holiday fell on your regularly scheduled day off, no extra pay or benefit from the holiday available.

My current employer gives 10 paid holidays off a year in addition to regular paid time off, which compared to many employers in the US, is more paid time off than some employees at other employers even get as vacation/sick time off for a year.

And it doesn’t matter what type of industry either a person is employed in. Retail, customer service, entertainment, medical, emergency services, etc. can all give their employees ZERO holidays per year if they choose to and there are no local labor laws to the contrary.”
