I had to look it up. I had heard it before, but forgot what it was.
I agree with it being a national holiday. If we celebrate the liberation of our nation from under tyranny ... it makes sense to celebrate the liberation of a people from the same.
I would not agree with requiring employers to pay employees to take it off, though. If the employer chooses to do so - good for them.
I think it is not going to be mandated. But it was worth mentioning I think that some employers voluntarily didn't want their employees to lose pay which will pay off for them I'm sure. Every kindness extended to employees goes in the bank account of the employer. They are going to win in the long term for being kind. And probably make up that money in increased productivity! So they really don't lose a thing. Thank you for your reply Walt! :)
