For those who work in American offices, is your company closing early for the holiday weekend?

We are also closed on Friday. Our official agency policy is that if a holiday falls on Saturday, we get to take it on Friday. If it falls on Sunday, we get to take it on Monday  . |

I work today and tomorrow. Then we are shut down until July 6th. Sweet. (Plus I took the 6th as a vacation day!)

We are closed Friday. There is a decent possibility we will be sent home a couple hours early on Thursday as well. *fingers crossed*

For those who work in American offices, is your company closing early for the holiday weekend? Well, we get Friday the 3rd off as the Holiday. I doubt they'll let everyone go early on Thursday - although that generally happens at Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Years. Unfortunately, we have "month end" processing occurring on the 1st and 2nd and then some upgrades going live over the weekend... so NOT every one will be 'off' for the Holiday or be able to leave early if that is announced. So, my answer is that yes my company may close early on Thursday and Friday is a compnay holiday - but that doesn't necessarily mean that I won't be working.  |

We are closed Friday.
I am not planning to work, although I could.
We have a family party for the 4th. Our friends are joining us, so I will not be in.
I usually work over new years when everyone else is off. It is the only way to get old year closed, and payroll changes in before new payroll is run, so I feel your pain Tiny. |

We aren't closed as such because we don't have a vacation policy at work so there are no special days. Besides, we have to maintain a minimum crew to keep things running so we always need to have a few people ready to go.
I'm taking Friday off this time because I am flying, but I would have worked it if I was staying local for the Saturday.

Private industry. But we depend on government offices to a great extend. Since they are closed Friday, so are we.

Our company has always given two days for the 4th of July, but this year they gave us 3 for the 4th and no Good Friday off which I thought was kind of weird, but I'd rather have 5 days in a row off in July anyhow.

We are closed on Friday. Since that would be my usual Friday off due to my compressed schedule, I'm also off Thursday. They'll probably be released at 230 Thursday.

trying to decide if I pull DS from school or get a few Mommy Vacation hours.... I guess I'll pull him since I'll get 10 DS-less days a week or so later.

We are closed Friday, mentally stop working Thursday after lunch. We are spending the fourth with friends (watching hubs' nephew in our town's soapbox derby that morning) and then going down the shore Sunday through Wednesday. 'Merica!

We are closed Friday, and hopefully early dismissal Thursday. I have my eye on the weather....if Thursday's forecast is nice, I may take off and go to the beach. The weather this weekend doesn't look great.

Closed on Friday. I suspect that the office will close an hour or so early on Thursday.

I'm surprised at the places closed on Friday. I can see the day after if it falls during the week but it's a Friday. The 3rd. Nothing is happening on that day.

We're working. Unfortunately, summer is our busiest time of the year anyway (2/3 of our business is tied to general construction which happens in the warm months in the northern states and government where we get year end orders as people try to use their budget by June). We do double or even triple the business in June, July, August and September that we do in December, January, February. So closing down is not a good idea.
Not complaining about it at all, but we also just got an unusually large order that we're filling as well. So we and some of the employees have been working OT and coming in on weekends. We won't ask any employees to come in on July 4, but DH and I may go in for a bit to get things ready for Monday.
Before you think we're too evil, we balance it out by closing down (and still paying everybody regular wages) for a week or two around Christmas. |
