HR Leaders Say The Big Game Hits This Monday

Although the festivities have been scaled back greatly this year, that doesn’t mean football fans didn’t party the night away anyway. An estimated 17.5 million employees miss work on Monday after the big game. That’s about $4 billion in lost productivity for companies, says a survey by the Workforce Institute at Kronos Inc. Often referred to as the “Big Game Fever,” there is still a great push for the day after the Big Game to become a National holiday. In fact, according to a poll from DraftKings, nearly half of people surveyed said they would be willing to give up another holiday during the year to get the Monday after the Big Game off work without using personal vacation time.

From Miami to Atlanta, for Human Resources, the Big Game Hits on Super Monday

Are you among one of the estimated 17.5 million employees missing work on Monday after the Super Bowl? According to a survey by the Workforce Institute at Kronos Inc., it’s the largest amount ever since the institute began tracking in 2005. Often referred to as the “Super Bowl Fever,” in 2017 there was actually a time when the public started a petition contending the day after the Super Bowl to become a National holiday. As a matter of fact, most businesses do operate as usual, and those that choose to take Monday off will need to use a day from their Paid Time Off (PTO) accumulation. Regardless, workers should refer to their Employee Handbook.
