| It's not a 3-day holiday, it's a one-day holiday. IF you normally get the weekend off (Saturday and Sunday) then you'd get a 3-day weekend (don't confuse the word weekend with holiday). If you generally work the weekend and are off, say, Mondays and Wednesdays, then you'd probably get your normal Mon. and Wed. off and then Friday, the 1st. They're not "allowed" to switch that one day holiday for another day and make you work it. |

| Our language school is only giving May 1st as a paid holiday. Is there any law that says they must give 3 days or are they free to make their own rules? |
The law is that it is a one day holiday (thus, Friday 01 May), that's all. If there were a law that they must give 3 days, then it would be a legal 3 day holiday, which it is not.
That's all there is to it. |

Of course they can't. It's not April 30th yet!  |
My school (a public university) is off Friday May 1 through Sunday May 3. Students told me that they usually have classes on the weekends, so this truly is a three-day holiday. |

| We have now "officially" been told - - almost a full week before the event! - - that all teachers will be done by noon on April 30th. In my particular department, the parents come at 11AM to pick up their kids so a full 3 1/2 days of freedom. Better than a kick in the head I guess. |
