Observed holiday, not actual holiday

Does anyone work for a city where the actual holiday doesn’t get overtime, but the observed holiday does? Not only that, if the holiday falls on a weekend, the city makes the observed holiday either Friday or Monday to benefit admin city employees. For example, Christmas day falls on a Saturday. The city will make Friday the observed holiday to benefit administrative city employees (including the mayor.). So they (admin staff) have off since it’s a holiday. However other city employees scheduled to be working on the 25th, the actual day, don’t get to be with their families AND don’t get the extra pay (law enforcement, refuse/sanitation employees, etc) How is this allowed to happen? I may have the facts wrong as I’m not very familiar, someone please correct me and/or shed light. Send a little messed up for the weekend workers efit If this is the wrong sub my…
