Next Level Knowledge: Paid Holidays

January 27, 2023
5 min read

Welcome to Next Level Knowledge, where we share expert Human Resources insights, tips, trends, and more.

PAID HOLIDAYS

We get asked all the time about paid holidays and what the standard offering should be. According to the International Foundation of Employee Benefits Plans 2022 Benefits Survey Data, the current average is nine company paid holidays per year.  

The most common offered as paid days off, in order of popularity, are:

  • New Year’s Day
  • Thanksgiving
  • Independence Day
  • Memorial Day
  • Christmas Day
  • Labor Day
  • Friday after Thanksgiving
  • Christmas Eve
  • Martin Luther King Jr. Day

If your company is not offering at least nine paid holidays or a combination of company paid holidays and floating holidays, you might want to take a look at your offering and potentially improve it for either this calendar year or next calendar year. Our team of seasoned HR consultants can help you take your paid holidays and other benefits to the next level. Contact us today to get started.
