If your boss pays you better income for you to work during the holiday, will you accept to it? Or you don't care about more money and you still want to have days off in the holiday?

It all depends if my family had any plans. If I were living alone and my family was far away I couldn't go visit, then I would work on Christmas, if I could get there.But if my family had p0lans , then I wouldn't work.This is all mute because in my area the buses don't run on Christmas.

Here usually the public transportation will even prolong their service time.

Well.....depends upon how much extra he is going to pay you and also on the nature of the holiday...if it's a holiday that should be a 'holiday', then it'll be a holiday and no one could change it.

I work for myself so whenever I work I get paid the same amount but my wife does work holidays because she gets paid 1½ times her normal rate... we have our holidays on a day before or a day after and use the extra money to celebrate. Great question Thanks Zelo

I think unless I have no money and can not make up my life, I would not choose to work in the holiday even if the income is better. I think holiday are days for me to relax myself from the heavy work and to get together with my friends and my family. I need my own spare time.

If it's not necessary i don't like working during the holiday despite more income.But sometimes you can't make a decision upon yourself. And now i am the leader for myself,you know i am free now.Everthing i do is finding a new job!

It depends whether I have any plans in the holiday or not. If I have my own plans, then I wouldn't bother to go back to work regardless how much money I'll get. If I am just staying at home, nothing much to do, then I'll consider working. Sometimes i do work during holiday even I am not paid.

I am surprised that you work in the holiday but without no paid. You are very kind.

When I was younger and single, I would gladly take the chance to earn more during the holidays. My family doesn't really make a big deal out of the holiday season anyway. But now that I have my own family, I most certainly would choose the days off so that I can spend time with them. I have already been busy trying to make money all year round, I think I deserve the rest and time to spend with them instead of work.

If the holiday is a Religious HolyDay I will not work it unless the occupation is a servial type of job in which the wellbeing of persons is otherwised jeopardized by my not being there. Necessities such as Nursing, Doctoring, Policing - other emergency care.

Christmas eve is very important to me and I have been with this company long enough that I insist on having it off even if i lose pay on it. I work 2nd shift and will go in on Christmas day or any other holiday but NOT Christmas eve.

I did work one holiday for about four hours but it was not with extra pay but I once worked a job that paid triple time on a holiday and if I could have worked one holiday with triple pay I would have done it.

I think I will work in a holiday if the paid is so well

If I worked in an industry that offered premium pay for holiday shifts (like nursing perhaps) then I believe I would be willing to work for the extra pay and celebrate the actual holiday at a different time. It's the people you're with more than the date on the calendar that matters most to me, and that being the cast I'd be most happy to capitalize on that possibility. However, I have never had this opportunity really, so I just have the regular holiday with my family!

I don't particularly desire to work on the holidays unless it is doing something I enjoy such as writing. However, if I had a nine to five job that didn't involve anything important like taking care of someone I would expect to be paid extra.

Hi youless, this really is a very good question, I think most people would say they would like the time off to celebrate the Holidays but with the way things are now many just might want to work to feed their families and help pay bills.

I think so. At least sacrificing it can have well paid and it's not bad for the current economy.

Hi youless! Well, if I am a working for a someone and he/she wants me to work during the holiday, I don't think I will accept it even if I will be paid double for that day. I would rather spend it with my husband and family. Being with them is priceless and valuable. Although, I have nothing against people who work in this time of the year because I am sure they have good reasons why. Take care always! Happy New Year! lovelots..faith210

Hi Youless, Happy holidays!! In my case, I work for a union that says we will get premuim pay for 10 holidays a year. If there is a need for production during the holidays, we get paid the holiday rate and 1 1/2 times the rate for working the holiday. This is the most we get paid, which is quite a bit. Yes, I will work the holiday if needed. I may not like it but I will do it. I can always celebrate another day. If your job depends on you work or not, you may choose to work. With the economy these days, It is important to protect your source of income. Have a nice day..
