Today is Tuesday. Independence Day is this Saturday. That means that, in theory, I have Friday off. The question is, how best to broach the subject with Boss.... I think I'll stick with the "Hey, what are YOU doing for 4th of July this weekend?" That way he can say we have Friday off and it'll all be his idea ;-)

In Belarus it's 3rd of July - so we are luckier this year :D

Manipulating the boss man...love it!

Matthew, he is 'human resources'. Small companies have both benefits and drawbacks... Sasha, normally when July 4th falls on a weekend it is observed on the closest weekday, but this year seems to be a bit different. The Federal Reserve isn't observing it on Friday, which means banks aren't closing this year.

or just ask what he's doing on his Friday off :)

Tina, are you working in a bank?
- Sasha Kovaliov
No, I don't work in a bank. However, most 'official' or federal holidays in the US are patterned after the holidays that are observed by the banking system.

Hence why the UK's holidays are called 'Bank Holidays'. ;-)

hope your plan works
- Kevin J Hatton
My plan didn't work at all. I asked what he was doing for the 4th this weekend and he said "kayaking" which is what he does every weekend. He didn't even think about the fact that it was the 4th. Maybe I'll try bringing up the fact that banks aren't closing for the observance on Friday and see what he says....

He's playing with you. You should just play straight and ask.

AHA!!!! The mail man just came by. I casually asked if the mail would run on Friday. He said yes, and then asked if we'd be open. Boss immediately said "Nope!". WOOHOO!!!

It is Canada day here tomorrow, and if anyone works they receive time and a half by law. Does the same apply for the 4th of July?
- Garin Kilpatrick
Most companies large enough to have an HR department do pay time and a half to hourly employees that work on holidays. When I was a CSR I would work almost every holiday b/c you got 1.5 your rate PLUS the holiday pay. Since I'm salary now, that would no longer apply (though I would probably get a comp day in trade for working a holiday if I did).

staying indoors, it's not worth the hassle of the check points and bad drivers. Plus I can see the fire works where I live.
