i get 22 days off and thats only because my employer gives me 20 PTO days + 12 holidays, that could easily go back to 10 PTO days and fewer holidays at another employer. America is a shithole.

    Serious question: How is a national holiday week coordinated? I’m figuring it’s safe to assume that hospitals and emergency services and the like will still have staff on hand. If part of the reason is allowing everyone to travel I’m guessing public transport will still be staffed. Do these people just get a different week off or something?

      My first guess is that they’d get something like what I do: a choice between paid overtime or getting 2:1 days off for every day worked during the holiday. (The company I work for in the US gives some holidays off paid but some people still have to work).
