Can accenture require you to work on a public holiday that’s already observed by the company? Ie: Memorial Day?

Would assume yes, and they give you a day off elsewhere. Common in client service, especially when your client doesn't have that day off.

You must be on the TWC project as I am. It’s unlikely to occur because that would entail the state employees being told to work on said day.

Theoretically it is possible as accenture mirrors client holidays, I’ve lived that misfortune. But realistically highly unlikely since state workers are guaranteed those days.

Yes they have to allow you take a different day as an "in-lieu-of" holiday.

Yes as long as you burn all of the “holiday” hours by the end of the year they can use them else where. Just can’t be used as partial days similar to a floater

I miss floaters

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

The firm I work for is not closing for the hurricane. Staff were told to work from home or take PTO if they could not come in to the office (and the building is now closed until Friday). Is this normal?!

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??
