In the New England Supplement, Veteran's Day, Columbus Day and the day after Thanksgiving are paid holidays. If you are required to work on those days, you are paid for the holiday (8 hrs - friend/t & 4 hrs P/T) plus time and a half for all hours worked. I'd rather have the time off.Check your Supplemental Agreement language in you contract book. You DO have a book, don't you?
In Central Region supplement, it states:
"A regular seniority employee shall not be required to work on the following eight (8) named holidays..." and Veterans Day is not one of them. It is business as usual on this day, which is always observed on Mondays following an edict many years ago from the priest of holiday observations.
In other words, in Central Region, you don't get no day off, you don't get no extra pay, you don't get nuttin but what you actually put in.

yea so theres work tommorrow im assuming ? but is it reg. pay or is it time and a half or what .... Im pretty new to this lol
we work on monday straight pay ,and get an extra days pay for the holiday in Ma.
unless things have changed since I retireed you have to remember that although the USPS seems to get a lot more days off I don't believe they get the friday after Thanksgiving or New Years Eve off. And they also work 6 days a week.
Federal Government is closed in Wash. DC I have the dayoff.
