Some bosses happily giving staff Monday off along with Canada Day

Several startup companies gave their employees the Monday off on June 23, 2025, alongside the Canada Day holiday in Canada.
This practice emerged because this year’s Canada Day holiday occurs on a Tuesday, causing an unusual workweek layout for many employees.
Founders like Moody Abdul of Klarify and Vineet Johnson of IRegained regularly offer additional days off to smooth workweek gaps and prioritize employee happiness.
Abdul highlighted the importance of worker appreciation, saying it’s that 'if I take care of you, you’ll take care of us' mentality, while Mason called the move a 'no-brainer incentive.'
This approach aims to help employees rest and recharge with minimal impact on businesses, though some full-time workers must still use vacation days or adjust to odd schedules.
