Holiday Policy - Work day before and day after
![heather1027](http://blr-hrforums.elasticbeanstalk.com/plugins/DefaultAvatars/design/RedAvatar.jpg)
If you have a holiday policy which states the employees must work the day before and the day after, but there are specific cases which can override this provision - then what specific occurrences do you consider "acceptable?"

If someone had a previously scheduled and approved vacation days for the day before and the day after the holiday.
HRguy is right. Pre-approved PTO hours (vacation, personal, etc) would warrant an override of the Holiday Pay policy, but I’d advise that you list those types of expections in the policy itself.

“Employees must work the last scheduled day before and the first scheduled day following a holiday to qualify for holiday pay. Employees absent from work before or after a holiday must present documentation by a physician for the missed time to qualify for holiday pay.”
The trick is first scheduled day before and first scheduled day after. So even if someone is using a vacation day before the holiday, they’ll need to work the day before the vacation day to qualify for the holiday pay.
