Wife is a banker. The Japanese have a holiday and she's off. Anyone mentions holiday and she's off.

I want to say I get ten off, plus my normal three weeks of vacation. For every holiday I work I earn sixteen hours of comp time to be used whenever, so I usually work them.

I get 8 extra for carrying a pager and 16 if I have to come in. Works out to an extra week of vacation for carrying a pager on holidays. The only clients who call are from Canada and they are super nice.

I usually get my birthday off (December 26th).

I was well into my 30's before I had to work on my birthday (Obviously, I never had to go to school on my birthday).

a metric fucking shit ton. because i work for an international company, a french one at that, they try to give us extra holidays off to keep up with how many days off from work our European counter-parts get. So I get Canadian holidays off as well to make up for it. I believe I had MLK day off this year.
 
Oh, I forgot: I take off Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (if on a weekday), but they are not subtracted from my vacation days.

This year we closed down the entire week of Thanksgiving and we are closing down all next week as well. Employees get the paid holiday but can use PTO or sick time or go unpaid for the days we are shut down.
 
im a subcontractor on a government site so we are off on all the government holidays, however many that is. i think it's 10.
