What should I do when Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve and New Year's Day fall on Saturday and Sunday?

Private employers don't have to give any "legal" holidays. but if an employer has a holiday policy, they need to follow it. Private employers determine which holidays to observe, and whether they will be paid or unpaid.

Typically, employees receive Friday as a holiday if the designated holiday falls on Saturday, and Monday as a holiday if the designated holiday falls on a Sunday. Employers who must have staff working during the holidays — and who want to recognize any or all of the designated holidays — may choose to give extra pay to employees who work during the holiday, or they may give another day off later, in lieu of the holiday.
