I've just accepted a job offer and will begin my new employment Dec 4th. Before I start, I desperately need some down time to recover and resituate myself. My current place of employment has worked my team and I to the bone for nearly a year, and the future doesn't look much better, hence why I'm leaving.
We get paid holiday leave for Thanksgiving next Thursday and Friday. I have not notified anyone at work because I do not want to get axed without getting the holiday pay.
I'm under the assumption that if I do not work the day before and after, I forfeit my holiday pay. My boss has asked us to be available to work OT the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Would that even count as having fulfilled the obligation or would I still need to work my full, regularly scheduled Monday?
