Hubby is but only b/c he has a 9/80 work period and that day falls on his off Friday.
He then has off all the following week and new year's day.
His company does this in lieu of floating holidays and in lieu of taking off on all the federal holidays. (during the year he gets only Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day...he gets the day after if it is an off Friday. If it is a work Friday or the Christmas holiday eats up all the extra days, they work the Saturday before to get the time in. But the plant is always closed on both of those days).
If January 2nd is on a Friday--sometimes it is a work day and sometimes it is not--depends on how the off time shakes out earlier in the year. They do know on Jan 1 the year before--the work schedule though).
