Paid Holiday today?

[Ferocious]

Is Good Friday a paid Holiday for you?

It is for me.

But it might be the last year for it, as the company is looking for ways to cut costs.

 

[TwiceOver]

I wish it was. Way too tired today. We don't get any days for easter.

 

[SirChadwick]

Yup, paid day off for me as well. Gonna sit on my butt until the Sugarland concert tonight. lol.

My wife is making me go b/c I took her to Disturbed on Wed.

Good Friday is one of our 6 floating holidays. The other 5 are MLK Jr. Day, President's Day, Veteran's Day, day after Thanksgiving, Employee Birthday.

 

[zebano]

hell no.

 

[trmiv]

I had no idea people got Good Friday off. Although if I didn't read this post I wouldn't even have known it was good friday.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Nope. But I took this week off because I felt like it.

 

[Soapy Bones]

Markets are all closed so I cant do anything yet it isnt a holiday for us... never understood these days. Anyway Im working from home so it doesnt matter too much..

 

[SonnyDaze]

No. The man is holding me down and making me work today.

 

[Beattie]

Only lazy Europeans are off today.

 

[clamum]

Fuck no

 

[xSauronx]

no, im off today but im a part timer everywhere. when we work holidays we get overtime rated pay. i seem to keep missing the holidays though :-/

 

[Brainonska511]

Still have classes, still have to go into the lab to finish something started yesterday. My little brother in HS had yesterday off, and today through next Friday off.

 

[jme5343]

It is for me, but I'm going in anyway. No double time and a half for salaried...

 

[Beev]

I work in the stock business. We have every day off that the market is closed. Except today. Why? Don't have a fucking clue.

 

[nickbits]

Yes it is and so is Monday.

 

[LS21]

nope, but my bosses are gone, and im leaving early to drink some beer

 

[LilPima]

Our office elected today to be one of our floating holidays (other offices are still open) I wish they elected the day after easter instead though. Oh well, I'll take a free day off!

 

[Iron Woode]

Yup, its a statutory holiday here in Ontario. That means if I work I get time and a half and if I don't work I get holiday pay.

Today I don't work.

 

[akshatp]

Shit im working Easter Sunday and its still not a paid holida or a double pay day

 

[xanis]

Nope. Never had off from any job on Good Friday. Not like it matters since I don't even go to Church or observe Lent or anything, just saying.

 

[Pepsei]

yes... it is paid holiday for us since the stock market is closed.

 

[Fritzo]

I could have it off, but they give me an extra vacation day if I come in. I'm gonna go somewhere where you have to wear a speedo this summer, so I took the extra vacation day.
