Holidays Policy (MA)

Establishing a holiday schedule reflects an employer's commitment to a healthy work-life balance and respect for cultural and religious diversity. A holidays policy ensures that all eligible employees receive appropriate time off on major national or state holidays, helps promote a positive work environment, and eliminates any confusion during holiday periods.

This policy can be customized to list which holidays the company observes, provide guidelines for holiday pay, state the accommodations for personal, religious, or cultural observances not included in the policy, and whether you provide floating holidays.

This policy should be reviewed with your employee handbook, other existing company policies, and any applicable state laws to ensure alignment. This policy is not intended for temporary workers or those covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
