Indiana State Law On Holidays?
I am a public employee with the state of Indiana. According to Indiana Law, state employees are entitled to certain holidays off, one of which being new years day. I am an an overnight worker meaning that my work day begins on 9:30 PM and ends at 5:30 AM the following day. Traditionally, the day I begin my work is the day I reflect on my time sheet. For example, if I come in 12/27/2013 at 9:30 PM then the whole work day until 5:30AM the morning of the 28th is reflected as the 27th. However, I found out today that I will be working Wendesday 01/01/2014 and have 12/31/2013 off, eventhough 01/01/2014 is listed as the holiday. I was wondering if my work can do this.

You are not required to get your holidays on the exact day, you will be paid and get your holiday on a different day.
I was a firefighter for 35 years and worked more than half the Christmas days in my career.
I got that day when the department decided I wanted the day not when I wanted it.
As a public servant you do not get the same treatment as civilians so get used to it.

So you will be coming in at 9:30 pm on 12/31/2013 and leave on 01/01/2014?
Or will you come in on 9:30 pm 01/01/2014 and leave the following morning?
If your department is not closed during that holiday then someone has to work it.
You should be then entitled to holiday pay.

Read it again. You are entitled to be paid for the Holiday. Does not mean that you get the day off.
