I work for a contract company in healthcare. Prior to the start of the year each employee has to select a minimal of 2 holidays to work throughout the year. You get a day off of your choice to use within 30 days, if you work a full 8 hr day holiday.
Before covid, 1 employee was to be on call for Christmas. You got no benefit for working the holiday because it was an on-call coverage and not a full day of work.
Fast forward post covid. My new boss has now made it mandatory that 2 people work a full 8 hr day on Christmas with the choice of working remotely however even if you choose to work remotely you don’t get a day off to use within 30 days even if you are putting in a full day of work. If you go into work in person you get a day off to use within 30 days.
Would also like to point out we do not get any type of bonuses, Christmas party, food, dinner. We maybe get a coffee cup.
And that is why people don’t want to work…
