New Years Day

Jez · October 2004

If your organization recognizes New Years Day as a paid holiday, when are you observing it this year since January 1 falls on a Saturday?

dchr9203 · October 2004

Federal gov't will observe on 12/31. We're a gov't contractor and right now, we're looking at same.

hrwoman · October 2004

We are observing this holiday on Friday, Dec 31st.

Friday 12/31/04. (local government)

Elle · October 2004

I have the same issue. We already have 12/24 and 12/31 off. I'm not sure if we should extended through Monday or not.

MaryHR · October 2004

We get half of 12/31 off and 1/1 as holiday pay. This year we are observing 12/30 as our 1/2 day off and 12/31 as the day we would normally have off for New Year. We are doing the same for Christmas because we normally get half a day off on Christmas Eve and then Christmas Day. So this year we get half of the 23rd off and all of the 24th off.

HRCalico · October 2004

We're doing the same, although it was quite a discussion. I wanted to make sure employees were getting the same "amount" (1-1/2 days) of time, otherwise I knew they'd feel ripped off. Well, they do anyway, since we work overtime and holidays are paid at 8. But I try to be thankful for a paid day off!

We follow the "rule of thumb" of Saturday holidays are observed on Friday and Sunday holidays (except Easter) are observed on Monday.

Sorry - the page flipped before I finished. We celebrate New Year's on Monday, Jan 3 - that is the first of our nine holidays for 2005.

pork1 · October 2004

Jez: We will observe both Christmas and New Year's on the Friday before as paid time off.

We'll be cooking pork ribs, black-eyed peas and cornbread for the happenings.

May we all look forward to a Blessed month of December 2004, with our new President George W. Bush!

We get 2 days off for New Years (same for Christmas and Thanksgiving). We'll take both Friday and Monday off.

MLGray2004 · October 2004

My company will observe New Years Day on Friday, December 31. The ususal standard is if holiday falls on Saturday - celebrate on Friday; if holiday falls on Sunday - celebrate on Monday.

I work for a Board of Education. The school will be closed for the week between Christmas and New Year's. The few people here, secretaries and custodians will take December 31 as their paid holiday.

LE · November 2004

When a holiday falls on a Saturday we have Friday off, on a Sunday we have Monday.

Nat · November 2004

We will celebrate on 12-31. The way we decide is if the holiday falls on Saturday, we take Friday. If it falls on Sunday then we take Monday. Makes things very simple.

Sue · November 2004

We have to apply it to 2005 - some locations are using Monday, January 3rd, but some have turned it into a Employee-choice floating holiday (to be used whenever they choose).
