<prompt> Human: If in my employee contract it says I receive paid holiday for New Years but it lands on a weekend...would I be paid for the observance day on Monday? Our office is not closed on Monday- but would I have any legal rights to take the observance day and get holiday pay for it?  <response>: Holiday pay is something your employer gives you - theres no legal requirement to provide holiday pay. So, youll have to check with your employer.
