I was having this discussion and I'm wondering if I was off. My wife has to use a vacation day for Monday after because Christmas Day is a Sunday. Every place I've ever worked and even known gives you the Monday afterwards off in that case and the Friday before if the holiday is on a Saturday. I assumed this was the case everywhere for "paid holidays" by policy.

Obviously, it isn't universal but is it normal to not get a holiday if it falls on the weekend?

Yes, we have off a couple Mondays in a row.

Yep. In fact, I plan on being off from 12/16 until 1/3. Lots of free time for Greg!

Yeah, if the holiday falls on a weekend you get the Monday or Friday off. Unless you work weekends.

Send them a strongly worded letter.

Even we have that day off.

I think badrogue should write his wife a letter like that for Christmas.

Only the OBACS (Office Building Ass Clowns) get Friday and Monday as holidays. We working stiffs get paid the extra 8 hours on the 24th and 25th (plus get paid double-time for the entire 12 hours each day= 64 hours of pay for 24 hours of work,$$)

I haven't worked from Christmas Eve through the day after New Year's Day for 28 years or so.

Off both Mondays after said Holiday. On call so not really off at all. Paid damn well for it. Yes.

After December 20th, I'm only working on 1 day until 1/3/17. all those people taking vacations during the summer...waste!

my office is giving us the wraparound days...12/23 and 12/26 for christmas. 12/30 and 1/2 for new year's. we'll probably leave early on the 29th.

Nope.

Monday is the paid holiday. If we feel like working and have enough work to do, we can choose to work instead and use that day as a comp day within a year, which is our policy for all of our paid holidays. For example, I always work President's Day because I don't have kids in school and flights out of town are expensive that weekend.

My company is giving us the Friday and Monday off before both the Xmas holiday and New Years.
