With regards to Stat days...this year Christmas and New Years fall on Sunday, do you say to parents that when a stat falls on the weekend, then the monday is considered the day off, so you should still get paid for that?

Just curious, because I'll be off from Dec. 26 - 6 (unpaid), but my contract states that I get paid for all stats. So should I say to parents, no payment for 8 of those days, but I require payment for the stats?
