As governor of Maryland, Christmas arrived early for condition workers. On Sunday, Wes Moore declared a state trip on Christmas Eve.
According to Moore, express offices and offices may be closed on Tuesday and employees will have a day off, with Dec. 24 being” treated like any other condition employee holiday.”
” Our condition people have worked hard all year long ensuring that Maryland is safer, more inexpensive, more aggressive and the position that serves”, Moore said in the media release. We hope that all of our amazing public servants in the state will enjoy a much-needed time with their loved ones this vacation season.
President Joe Biden issued an executive order last week that ended the day off for federal employees on Christmas Eve, closing most of the country’s top national authorities on December 24.
Christmas Day is a national holiday, but the day before is no. Federal and state governments have republican appealed for giving staff a trip on Christmas Eve.
The next moment federal employees got off on December 24 was under previous president Donald Trump, who likewise permitted it as a vacation in 2018 and 2019.
In Maryland, past Gov. Larry Hogan gave state employees a trip for Dec. 24 in 2018. In 2022, Hogan gave state workers the day off on Dec. 23, when Christmas Eve fell on a Saturday.
