I'm a school bus driver who used to be a programmer. My school district has a rule where if you don't show up the work day before or the work day after a paid holiday (like Labor Day, for one ironic example), you don't get paid for that holiday. I've never encountered a rule like this anywhere I've ever worked before, but my fellow drivers are all like "yeah, that's totally normal". Apparently they don't want people turning 3-day weekends into 4- or 5-day weekends, but it's still all kinds of fucked up abuse of workers.
Meanwhile half my co-workers didn't show up the day after Philly won the Super Bowl, forcing us to cancel a bunch of bus runs.
Some districts also charge teachers for taking the day off - they make you pay for your sub!
That's a common rule here except that you can use vacation days to extend a long weekend. You just have to be present for the scheduled shift before and after. A vacation day you're not scheduled so it doesn't count. However if you book an extra day off from the long weekend and miss your first scheduled shift after your vacation day you lose your holiday pay.
