but what needs to be emphasized here is compensation for that time because big holidays like Christmas or New Year are extraordinary days, and workers should get compensation for their dedication, whether it's in the form of bonuses or rewards outside of their salary.
While many of us agree that these are extraordinary days and should be paid along with bonuses. But it all depends to the employers that are also into it.
If it's part of the law of a country where you are working with and it is an incentive that must be paid, even these employers don't celebrate those, the employees must be compensated.
The amount depending of bonus is still dependent to the boss but as employees, many are grateful that they've been given and remembered with such bonus.
