Tmaster148 12/19/19 9:52:21 AM #1:	https://wapo.st/2M6a5uf Federal agencies will be closed Dec. 24 and employees will have the day off with pay, under an order President Trump issued Tuesday that amounts to the latest in a series of holiday presents to the federal workforce. Presidents commonly give federal employees additional time off around the Christmas Day holiday, although a full day off most typically is granted to create a long weekend when that day lands on a Tuesday or a Thursday. Trump did that last year when Christmas Day was on a Tuesday; when it falls on other days, the most common practice has been to give a half-day off, or none. The order follows his administrations recent acceptance of provisions in two budget bills sponsored by House Democrats to provide 12 weeks of paid parental leave and to pay a 3.1 percent average federal raise in January. The order applies to some 2.1 million executive branch employees, although under the order agencies may determine that certain offices and installations of their organizations, or parts thereof, must remain open and that certain employees must report for duty on December 24, 2019, for reasons of national security, defense, or other public need. That mirrors the policy of similar previous orders, as does language in the order referring to the impact on pay and leave. Most employees who are excused from duty on December 24th as a result of the Presidents Executive order will receive the basic pay they would have received if no Executive order had been issued, according to guidance issued Wednesday morning. An employee who was previously scheduled to take annual leave on December 24th will not be charged annual leave (or any other form of paid leave, compensatory time off, or credit hours), it says. Employees who are ordered to remain at work are entitled to holiday pay, which is an add-on equal to their regular salary rate, while employees not regularly scheduled to work that day will be entitled to an in lieu of day off. An accompanying question and answer document describes the impact on employees in various specialized situations. --- https://imgur.com/BBcZDLJ <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:931795292] in Trump issu...

I think we went to church one year when I was like four or five but all the other years there was nothing really religious at all about it. But yeah it's definitely supposed to be religious holiday, it's just not necessarily celebrated as one by everybody. --- "I like turtles" <cite>Tired-Insomniac posted [p:931803562] in Trump issu...
