Who else is only going to work today becuase if they don't they won't get paid for the holiday? Lol

@signmeupforthat - not with my company it's a rule for everyone. We are paid for the holiday but we have to work our last scheduled day before it and the first scheduled day after it. If You have time off available you can take a pre scheduled day off before or after it. If I had today off I'd still get paid for my holiday but if I had called off yesterday I would not have been paid.
If I call off today I won't get paid for Monday.
Newbies don't get paid for holidays until after their 120 day probationary period.
