Thanksgiving weekend has become an expected holiday for students and most workers, but more than a third of companies will require at least some of their employees to work on Thanksgiving Day.
Nearly three out of four companies have scheduled both Thanksgiving Day and the following Friday as paid days off for most of the work force this year. But some employees will have to miss or postpone Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends because they're scheduled to work.
Small businesses are more generous than large ones in offering four-day Thanksgiving weekends to their workers. Two paid days off for Thanksgiving have been scheduled by more than four out of five firms (81 percent) with fewer than 1,000 employees, but only slightly more than half (56 percent) of larger organizations will do the same.
