  Hell - here’s how fucked up it is - my SO worked in clinic that wasn’t open on holidays, but offered no holiday pay, so employees had to use the 10 or 14 vaca days they got to cover their 7 holidays, which they couldn’t have worked if they wanted to. ‘Ready, able, and willing’ is how the law is worded, for salaried employees. But these things are meaningless relics of old times when labor had some power and wasn’t just the fleshlight of the rich.

    That sucks. I get 9ish holiday days/year (ish because sometimes we work New Years and get the holiday day for it the previous year) and we start at 2 weeks vacation in addition, with it going up with seniority, eventually capping out at 5 weeks. It is use it, sell it or lose it though - new vacation is granted at start of year and expires at end of year.
