The rest day on April 28 (Sunday) is adjusted to May 2, and the rest day on May 11 (Saturday) is adjusted to May 3. Therefore, Labor Day is really just a day off.
Adjust rest days
“Adjusting rest days” refers to adjusting the schedule of working days and holidays to allow employees to extend their rest days or balance their working hours. This refers to adjusting the original working days (April 28 and May 11) to rest days and extending the actual length of the Labor Day holiday.
