Company Wide Vaction days for 4th July- legal requirment?
Is an employer legally required to give full time employees a specific number of 'company vacation days' ie X-Mas/New Years/4th July every year- or is it up to the companys disgression and on a year like 2004 when they fall on Weekend employees get no vaction?
Thank you very much,
Frances

Vacation
A privately owned company is free to set its own policies on vacation and holidays. There is no legal obligation for a private employer to give any paid vacation, paid sick days, paid holidays, or event to give holidays off. July 4th may be a national holiday, but there is no requirement that private companies give employees a paid day for it. You might want to check you company policy manual on holidays and check your hire letter to see whether you have any rights under either of these documents.
