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.

That is the risk we must accept if we work in a company or work with other people, whatever is said to us, we must not argue. However, in reality, employees who continue to work during Christmas and New Year holidays are required to receive compensation from their workplace because they have sacrificed time with their families by choosing to continue working because of work demands.

Luckily in my country, there is a circular from the Minister of Manpower which makes a policy that employers are required to provide compensation to workers who work during Christmas and New Year holidays. So with the circular, all companies must provide compensation in the form of severance pay, otherwise the company can be sued.

I personally am not an employee because I prefer to open my own business so that no one can control me. Because as employees we must obey and sometimes superiors always put pressure, work is always rushed, if we make a small mistake we are cursed, our bodies and souls feel tired. Therefore, it is better to have your own business even though the turnover is small, but the fatigue should not make our mentality down.

You're in a good position if you own your own business and you are not an employee. You also have employee I guess and you're taking good care of them.

But with what you're saying that no one is controlling you, you are the one that controls yourself and people think that owning a business won't make them hard work but others working for them.

You're even dedicating more time to your business than the rest.
