Corporate Salaried Employees: When a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday will be the official observed paid holiday, and the office (both actual and virtual) will be closed. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday will be the official observed paid holiday, and the office (both actual and virtual) will be closed.

 

Operations Salaried Employees: As we are a 365/24/7 operation, not all operational managers will be able to take off for all holidays.  Management teams should work together to ensure coverage for both holidays, both official and observed. If you are unable to take off a regularly scheduled day on either an official or observed holiday, you will be offered comp time, equal to 8 hours of pay. This should be requested by your manager through a PHD ticket. These hours can be utilized at any time throughout the remainder of the year.
