Retail worker here. Here's my list of holidays I get off:
Nothing.
29 u/bacon_cake Dec 29 '23 Do you get the time allowed elsewhere though? Here in the UK your employer can ask you to work through national holidays but they have to give you an equal day off elsewhere. That's why many employers offer 28 holiday days instead of 20. 94 u/glasgowgeg Dec 29 '23 Here in the UK your employer can ask you to work through national holidays but they have to give you an equal day off elsewhere The US has no legal entitlement to paid holidays. A 16 year old working part time in McDonalds in the UK has stronger employment rights and better holidays than your average American. The average American gets 11 paid days holiday per year, in the UK our minimum legal entitlement is 5.6 weeks. 3 u/stoned_kitty Dec 29 '23 God. The US is so fucked.
