Oddly, Easter is a holiday for APD and IVD purposes but is not a "holiday" for holiday pay purposes. BTW, Super Bowl Sunday, Labor Day, and Good Friday are also not "holidays" anymore. (not sure why Good Friday ever was a holiday really). But we added as holiday pay holidays both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. So in the end.... we have 9 APD/IVD holidays and 7 holiday pay holidays. I'm just wondering why the APD holidays don't match the holiday pay holidays.
