Please feel free to post or e-mail your thoughts and comments on the following
memo.  The memo is the response from my company when I asked for equitable 
holidays. (I had to define equitable for the responding party)

I will post a summary in a couple of weeks if there is interest.

The names are deleted and the site/shift changed for obvious reasons.
Syntax, grammar, spelling, and punctuation are original.

			MEMORANDUM

DISTRIBUTION: >List of 24 people deleted<

I hope this memo helps clear-up some of the confusion regarding HOLIDAYS.

Effective Immediately, if you are assigned to a particular site and shift 
(Like site-1, site2, site-3 etc.; Shift #A, shift #B, shift #C, etc.) You 
will observe the Customer's site/shift holiday schedule. If you are not 
assigned to a site/shift you will observe the COMPANY holiday schedule. 
If you are not sure which site or shift you are assigned, please feel free 
to contact me at extension xxxx.

If you are required to work a holiday that you were scheduled to take off, 
you are allowed to take a "Floating Holiday" at a later date. Indicate this 
on your time card as "Holiday" when it is taken off. This "Floating Holiday" 
must be coordinated and approved by the assigned "Site Coordinator/Site 
Manager" and the Customer. It must be taken as soon as possible and not 
saved and used as vacations. These "Floating Holidays" must be taken 
when work loads are slow and must NOT disrupt Customer scheduled projects 
and the Technical Services Master project schedule.

If you have traveled to another site and that site is observing a 
holiday while you are there, make arrangements with the Customer to work 
those days. If you are not allowed to work at the Customers site during 
their holiday, 
please indicate this on your time card as "Other" with an explanation 
that this was a "Customer Required Holiday".

"Site Coordinators/Site Managers" will need to check with the Technical 
Services Master scheduled and the Customer before observing a "Floating 
Holiday".

Please keep in mind that you will NOT have the same Holidays and 
schedules as other Field Engineers. In some cases, according to work 
assignments and schedules your end of the year hours may NOT be the same 
as other Field Engineers in the Technical Services department.

With the current Technical Services department condition and outlook, to 
be successful we will need to put all available energy into bigger 
issues, like Customer relationships, and Field Engineering cross 
training. As the Technical Services department increases in size, the 
confusion will NOT get better. Lets keep things simple and focus in  
areas that impact our Customers and our future. If you have any 
concerns, ideas or question please feel free to contact me at extension xxxx.

Addendum:
	I am one of the "Site Managers" (and Very Exempt)
	There is no cross-training.
	I've never heard of or seen the "Master Schedule"
	At the moment I get 4 day @ 12hrs or 48 hours for 1994;
	the "Home Office" gets 10 days @ 8hrs or 80 hours;
	the "site" get 4 day @ 12hrs plus 26hrs Vacation credit.
