[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a contractor for the Federal government and I would really welcome having the extra day off simply because I don't get that much vacation time and work long, hard hours.  I know it isn't fiscally prudent but it would be much appreciated.  If it doesn't happen, I certainly understand and would not begrudge the president.[/quote]

Really?  I've been a federal contractor on-site at a federal facility for 20 years and while the President can give the civil servants the day off, that does not apply to contractors.  If you take the day off, you contract company needs to pay you from overhead because they cannot bill those hours to the government.  I have never gotten the day off when the President excuses the civil servants.    We can get compensated for a full 8 hours when the President grants early dismissal on the day before a holiday, but not when the full day is given.  I also have friends who are in 3 other agencies and the policy is the same.  What agency do you work for that will give contractors the day off along with the civil servants?[/quote]
