According to the 2011 ERC Paid Holiday Survey, most Northeast Ohio employers (99%) planned to provide their employees with a paid day off on July 4th, 2011 in observance of Independence Day.
Monday appeared to be the only day that most employers provided off for the upcoming holiday. In the survey, only 4% of employers planned to provide an additional day off on Tuesday, July 5th, and only 3% of employers planned to provide an additional day off on Friday, July 1st. This trend was consistent across manufacturing, non-manufacturing, and non-profit organizations as well as across employers of various sizes.
The trend in 2011 is clearer than the preceding years, where more employers opted to provide Friday off in addition to or instead of Monday (or vice versa) when July 4th fell on a weekend day.
