Changes in the working week during the coming holidays were announced today by Brig. General A. H. Gilkeson, commander at Hill AFB. In order that employees may have a three-da- y holiday at both Christmas and at New Years, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of these weeks will be holidays. Wednesday through Saturday of each week will be working days. In other words, employees will have ".the Monday prior to each holiday off and will work the fol lowing Saturday instead. By this arrangement, the usual week will be observed since Christmas and New Years Day are both holidays for which employees will be paid. Beginning Monday, Jan. 7, Hill AFB will resume its regular Monday through Friday week working schedule. By making these changes in the working schedule during the holidays, Hill AFB command believes that two important objectives will be j attained : Employees satisfaction and convenience, and improved production. Employees will benefit by uninterupted holiday periods of four days .at Christmas and another of three days at News Years. At the same time, Hill AFB production should benefit by four uninterupted working days. ay 40-ho- ur ay 40-ho- ur . fr-8- 8.
