Hi everybody,

I have a son, who goes to the Child Care for four days a week, and on Friday I'm working home. Today is a US Holiday - Presidents Day. On the last Thursday our Care Provider didn't mention, what she would have day off because of the holiday. In the written contract, what we have, there are several holidays listed as a paid holiday (for instance, Yom Kipur and Christmas Eve - funny combination), but Presidents day is not listed.

My manager asked me to come to work today, if it's convenient for me. Since we thought, this would be the regular day for her, I agreed and came.

When my husband drove our son to Child Care Provider, he found, that she left for weekend.

So, the question is: do we have to pay for this Holiday? Can we ask her to take care for our son on Friday in exchange?

Thanks in advance for your insights.
