When an employee resigns the day after a holiday, do we have to pay them for the holiday, or can we treat their last day worked as the effective date of the resignation?

If you don’t have a policy in place that specifically says you must work the day before and/or the day after a holiday in order to get holiday pay, you need to pay the employee. However, you are not required to pay the employee for a day if the employee came in only to resign.
