Our paid-day off of work is Friday. I did take a vacation day to take Monday off as well.

Where I currently work ( which will only be until July 31 ) they give us a "floating" holiday when one of the official holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday. You can then take 8 hours of PTO on another day of your choosing.

In previous careers (Retail and Hospitality) there was no such thing as a "holiday" - we always had to work because everyone else was off and coming in to buy stuff.

Friday for me this year. If memory serves, when the 4th was on a Sunday one year, they gave us the following Monday off.

Most observed instances of the 4th on a Saturday result in that Friday off. As some of have said, if it’s Sunday - you typically get the following Monday.
I’m sitting on my couch right now enjoying my Friday off!

The 4th is Saturday, so I guess that is the holiday. How could be anything else?

The "holiday" is today. The company gave us a paid day off yesterday in observance. I am sure some may opt for Monday to do the same. My wife's company did not observe July 4th this year because it fell on a Saturday. I only work part time now so every week has a couple of holidays.

Just wait until you are completely retired when (to quote the late "Brother Dave Gardener")
"Every night is a Saturday night & every day is a Sunday!"

Wait. Didn't you just retire?

I've heard that retiring and then coming back a " consultant" is the way to go. Is that your part time gig or did you pick up a shift at Red Lobstfer?

Is the holiday Friday or Monday?

Friday or Monday???
