Question about CNY holiday for helper

[mintycat]

There are 3 statutory holidays during CNY, Thurs, Fri and Sat. My helper's day off is on a Saturday (her preference because her sister and cousin both get Saturdays off at their jobs). So my question is if her day off is already on a Sat and it is also a statutory holiday, do I need to give her another day off for the statutory holiday?

Hope it makes sense.

I think you need to consider Saturday a holiday and compensate for another Saturday because the statutory holiday is different from the one in her contract right?

just my thought.

Yes you do owe her another day off.

Yes, that's what I thought. I will gladly let her have another day off, but just wanted to make sure. Thanks!
