They are Monday's following holidays that fall on the weekends.
Nooooo. I already get Mondays off this year. :( Dang.
This is how it's worked in Ontario forever. You get so many holidays a year. The fact that it happens on a SAT/SUN shouldn't bone one out of a day off at the whim of the calender.
That's a selfish mindset. This will benefit millions of workers across the country.
In the Maritimes and in most places too. But you are preaching to the choir here.
except for people who already have fridays off (???)
You literally have no clue“Public holidays with paid time off is generally defined to occur on a day that is within the employee's work week. When a holiday occurs on Saturday or Sunday, that holiday is shifted to either Friday or Monday for work purposes. Most employers follow a holiday schedule similar to the federal holidays of the United States, with exceptions or additions. The federal holiday schedule mainly benefits employees of government and government regulated businesses; however, this sector only comprises 15% of the working population.”
Not in good ol' USA!
Not much of a break for those in public schools though as the school year days have to be adjusted. You'll get the red days off, but will have to make up for them :(
Yeah, I said it above. But still nice to have some breather days in the middle of the semester, I guess. I would prefer to take more time off in the fall when the weather is actually nice here. (October.)
