Paid Holidays

What Are Paid Holidays?

Paid holidays are specific days designated by employers or mandated by the government during which employees are granted time off with full pay and other social protection benefits. They are typically national, state, or cultural events, allowing employees to rest, observe, and celebrate traditions without worrying about employment.

Paid holidays depend on employers and vary based on their policies and regulations. Employee status, service length, and company policies determine paid holiday eligibility.
