[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has happened to me too in the past. Parents told me I would have all federal holidays off, but then expected me to work the lesser holidays such as Veterans Day! This is why from now on I always request a contract from families with specific holidays written out. I would just tell the family you already have plans since they told you it would be a holiday for you, and that they will have to make other arrangements for childcare. I would expect to be paid but they probably won't since they have to pay for backup care. Good luck OP.[/quote]

This is my post. I did not mean to imply that I thought Veterans Day was a less meaningful holiday. I understand and respect it's importance. What I meant was there are some holidays (Columbus, Veterans, MLK, Presidents) that come to mind as holidays that many people do not get off from work, and are not as widely celebrated. They are not as big as say Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years for example. Did not mean to offend anyone. Just a lot of times I am not offered those "lesser" holidays as paid days off.[/quote]
