With America having many states with their own laws would this include states having their own public/bank holidays??


It really comes down to the individual company and if you are salaried - lopl gf holidays.

My daycare has 11, 1 of which is a professional development day. Several of the other ones are the "day after" a holiday - like Thanksgiving and Christmas. And, I know I have to save a few PTO days to cover some of the other days.

All in all, I think maybe 6-8 are PTO for white collared employees and mayyyybe 5-6 for manufacturer employees and mayyyybe 2 for retail employees. My husband actually gets 0 holidays that are guaranteed off - BUT when he works them he makes 100+ an hour which takes away some of the sting.
And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

The Czech Republic has 14 public holidays.

BUT! They are fixed dates, which means they can also fall on weekends, so you don't always get the day off ;)


Oh man, would be bad luck if a holiday falls on weekend.

I think some other countries follow same approach and at times leave it to the employer's discretion if another substitute day should be given.

^Thats good!

@Averia Light; In NZ Public Holidays are outside of schools holidays or teacher only days. I thought most NZ schools have two teachers only days a year, I've only found out this year that NZ schools can have up to eight teacher only days a year :O That's a hell of a lot, if you put the 11 public holidays, around 14 plus weeks of school holidays and the 8 teacher only days that's a hell of a lot of time of :/
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!
