Are you going to be back in the office the day after Thanksgiving? If so, you’re in the minority.
In 2007, more employers than ever before – 78 percent – gave employees both Thanksgiving and the day after as paid holidays.
For some, though, Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday at all. This year, it’s estimated that 36 percent of employers will require some of their employees – mostly maintenance and service workers, as well as public safety personnel – to work at least part of the day.
