July 5th Schedules

memiller · May 2002

With July 4th falling on a Thursday, I was wondering what the majority of employers were doing for July 5th. Are you open for business or closed?

Rockie · May 2002

We are in healthcare, so we are open for business. We have had lots of requests for time off, though. That is a big vacation week.

Carol CA · May 2002

We are in manufacturing and we are closed. It doesn't make sense for us to close our machines down for a day, and then start them up again for a day, only to close down again for the weekend. We have 11 holidays per year that we move around depending on where the holidays fall. This year both the 4th and 5th are paid holidays.

AnneLa · May 2002

We are in banking and we're open, our customers come first.

jules2001 · May 2002

We are in production/service - our customers will be open, so we will be open.

njjel · May 2002

We are a law firm and are open.

bsa · May 2002

Closed, not paid for the 5th ... we are manufacturing.

Lori B · May 2002

we're open but most people are taking vacation....transportation/freight forwarding industry.

dhnyct · May 2002

We are a large medical practice open every day but Sunday, with few exceptions. The 4th, however, is a paid holiday.

Quick Survey:
How many of you allow paid holidays for employees still within their 90-day introductory period?

How many of you withhold holiday pay from any employee absent the day before or after a holiday if they are scheduled to work...no prior approval of leave?

sonny · May 2002

We are a municipality and open the fifth

We pay holiday pay for folks on probation

We do not pay holiday if not at work day before and after, unless pre approved.

memiller · May 2002

We pay holidays within 90 day probation period. We do not pay for holidays if anyone misses the day before or after a holiday (not previously scheduled).

jules2001 · May 2002

We are the same as memiller...

Carol CA · May 2002

We pay the holiday starting immediately upon hire. We also pay the holiday as long as someone is in "paid status" the day before OR after the holiday. By paid status that would include regular hours, vacation, sick, jury duty, etc. It would not include someone on a LOA.

wire manufacturer · May 2002

We are a manufacturer. We haven't decided if we will have our offices open on the 5th. Our plant will be open, we run a weekend shift so they will be working.

We do not give holiday pay if the employee is in their 90 day probation period or if they miss the day before or after the holiday unless it is prearranged.

Florence · May 2002

We are a retail company the stores are opened on July 5th but the Corporate Office is closed.

hrgeneral · May 2002

Since we are currently slow, we are considering
closing on July 5th. However, I think we will
wait until the middle of June before we will
make a decision based on our workload at that time.

Darlene · May 2002

We are a private non-profit and are open on July 5th. We pay holidays for those on their introductory period, but all must work the scheduled workday before or after the holiday in order to receive the pay.

Paul K · June 2002

We are coordinating schedules to allow employees to work Sunday, or extra time M - W to still have a full pay week and take Friday off work. The manufacturing and business unit will still operate, but with minimal staff.

njjel · June 2002

we are a private non profit and are open on the 5th. We do pay holiday pay to to those on their 180 day probationary period.

Leslie · June 2002

We are 24/7 and we never shut down. Our hourly employees receive holiday pay from day one of employment of one additional hours pay for every hour worked - but you have to be on the clock. If you don't work that day there is no pay. The only true holiday our employees have is their birthday - they receive a straight 8 if not worked, holiday pay if it's worked. Exempt personnel have paid holidays. Our administrative offices will be closed on the 4th, but probably open on the 5th.
