In the U.S., Labor Day typically means the end of summer,
the beginning of the school year, and one last chance to celebrate a 3-day
weekend with a backyard barbecue. But while most workers will enjoy a paid day off
on Monday Sept. 7, more than 40% of employers require some work to be done,
according to a survey by Bloomberg BNA.
Of more than 100 human resources professionals were
surveyed, 41% indicated that their employers require some employees to work on
the holiday. According to the survey, technical and security/public safety
personnel are the most likely employees to do some work on the holiday.
