Besides cops, firefighters, hospital personnel and workers atChinese restaurants, almost nobody in the U.S. works on Christmas.And almost every employer offers workers a paid day off during theChristian holiday, according to a new survey by Bloomberg BNA.

The poll of 368 employers found that while 98 percent offerpaid time off on Christmas and94 percent pay workers to take New Year’s Day off, a significantpercentage (39 percent) still plan on having some workers on thejob during one or both of the holidays. The employees most likelyto work are those in maintenance, security and technicalsupport.

The good news is that 77 percent of employees asked (or ordered)to work during either of the holidays will be compensated more thanusual. But only 58 percent of employers will be offering holidaywages (either time and a half or double). Eight percent ofcompanies said they will be compensating workers with comp time and11 percent say they will be compensating their employees through“other” means (stocking stuffers?). Only 13 percent are totalscrooges: They are paying their workers the normal rate for holidaywork.
