Dear Experts,
I just accepted another job offer and was going to resign tomorrow. However, a friend just told me I won’t get paid for the holiday on Monday and they’ll take a vacation day I’ve earned for it instead. Which means, I’ll get paid one less vacation day when I depart. Is that true? Should I wait until Tuesday to tell them so that I can get the holiday pay and the extra day of vacation pay they would owe me?
