It's the time of year again when offices will be closed for holidays and employees will be requesting time off.

Here are some important guidelines to remember:

• Although many companies choose to provide time off on nationally recognized holidays, it is not required by law.
• Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodation for an employee's observance of a religious holiday. Allowing an employee to use a floating holiday, vacation day, or take an unpaid day could be considered a reasonable accommodation.
• Paid holiday hours do not have to count toward total work hours for the purpose of determining overtime eligibility for a particular week because the employee did not actually work during those hours.
