Are You Working on Monday?
April 8th, 2007, 30 Comments »
Can I get a quick show of hands regarding whether or not Monday is a holiday for you? I’m confused because:
- I’m self-employed, so I don’t often heed the regular holidays. Most of my peers are also self-employed, so they’re no help.
- Our clients are in four countries, so on any given day somebody’s working.
- My last full time job was in Ireland, where they (obviously) take both Friday and Monday off.
The Canadian government’s website lists Easter Monday on its public holidays and other important dates page, but fails to indicate whether its the former, the latter, or both. Wikipedia says Monday is a statutory holiday only in Quebec. I gather the kids aren’t in school, because my old high school is taking the day off.
It’s all a bit moot, as I’ll be working, but I wasn’t sure if everybody else would be.
