Thanksgiving Day Holiday Practices
Every year the Bureau of National Affairs conducts a survey regarding Thanksgiving Holiday Practices. According to the survey (available here), 69% of employers will give two paid holidays on Thursday and Friday of this year. For those employee required to work on Turkey Day, 52% will get overtime only, 14% will get overtime pay and comp time, 9% will get comp time off only. Lastly, 14% of employers will give some sort of gift to employees in honor of the holiday, but only 2% will actually be giving a turkey.
