Martin Luther King's bday are you working?

I'm just wondering if anyone working on Monday. My boss asked me if I will come on Monday, isn't that a federal holiday?

I have the Federal holidays off, I'm not sure about this one.

Are THEY going to work?

Mom is a doctor, maybe she will. But dad is a federal employee, so I'm sure he's off.

I'd be concerned about a parent who didn't spend their day off with their child.

Whether they are working or not doesnt really matter. What does your agreement say? Does it specifically say that you have federal holidays off? Or does it list holidays? If they are asking you to come in on a day that your contract designates as a holiday, you should point them to your agreement, and either request holiday pay if you'd like to work, or hold them to your agreement. Good luck!

My kids are off from school, and I would love to spend the day with them )

I hope they'll give me this holiday.

It does matter to me. I don't work with shitty parents. Sorry.

It's a holiday for me, but it's in my work agreement. What does your work agreement say?

Isn't your work agreement legally enforceable?

What does that have to do with anything? I don't think this was the OP.

My nanny will be working on Monday even though DH has the day off. She swapped MLK day for another day off during the holidays. It's also nice to have a day off that can be used to get things done around the house that can't be done without childcare.

If that's your agreement with your nanny, by all means, but I think its pretty shitty to use your day off "doing things around the house" instead of being with your kids. There are tons of people without nannies, and they seem to get by just fine without needing someone to occupy their children to function.

The PP you quoted isn't OP. And I think you misread what I wrote.
I posted the link to show that yes, it is a federal holiday. But unless her work agreement says she has the day off....

I bet the nanny is *really* looking forward to that.

What is wrong with you people? My MB has the day off, but we are switching that holiday for another day I'm taking off so that she can run some errands and have a little her time. What is wrong with that? EVERYONE needs a little time to themselves, especially parents! Also, if you think that your rude remarks are going to make anyone feel like a shitty parent, you are so wrong!

OP no one can answer if you need to work since we don't know what your contract says. If it says "holidays" off I think there is a good bet they meant real ones where people celebrate like July 4 or something. If it says fed holidays them you have the day off or you should insist on holiday pay at an OT or double time rate. If you have no contract this is the perfect time to point out to your MB that you need one I. Order to avoid confusion.
