We recommend changing the firm's holiday policy from 10 fixed holidays to 7 fixed holidays (those indicated with an asterisk) and 3 "floaters":
Day before New Year's
New Year's*
Good Friday
Memorial Day*
July Fourth*
Labor Day*
Thanksgiving*
Day after Thanksgiving*
Day before Christmas
Christmas*
Our employees have asked for this change because the days before New Year's and Christmas sometimes fall on a Saturday or Sunday and because Good Friday has no significance for some of them.
We feel we should respond positively to their request as long as there is adequate coverage assured in the office on "floating holidays." If you agree with this change, please initial on the bottom and return this memo to me. I'll take care of the rest.
