Did You Take Tomorrow (NYE) As A Paid Holiday?

I'm not taking tomorrow off, but I am taking NYD off.

[Stepping]

yes - both NYE and NYD closed and paid.

Same here. I'm originally from England and used to much more holidays than you get here in the US. I take both days paid every year.

No. we never do anything of note on NYE, and it's an "evening" event kind of day anyway, and this year it falls in the middle of the week.

Same here.

I was just wondering how many people take New Year's Eve as a paid holiday. I know most people take New Year's Day...

One DCM is very surprised and a bit miffed that I took this day as a paid holiday.

I took NYE too. I think DCP expect us to work 24/7 52 weeks a yr....they would not work that much for their employer.... After 20 plus years in my own business and 30 years in child care, I feel I am due some benefits. My husband has only been at his job for 7 years and he gets 3 weeks paid vacation already....I know child care is viewed as a different kind of "profession" but one I wish society would value more. The difference is that self-employment forces child care providers to "take care of themselves".

[e.j.]

I'm closed between Christmas and New Year's Day every year. New Year's Day is a paid holiday for me but the rest of the time, including New Year's Eve is part of my unpaid vacation week.

I'm open tomorrow for New Year's Eve but closed for New Year's Day (paid)
