====== Labor Holiday ======

**LABOR HOLIDAY**

In general, we try as a house to have 3-4 labor holidays per year to accomplish big projects together which we call a "Labor Holiday". For each Labor Holiday each member is expected to put in 2-4 hours/lumps of labor (depending on specific guidance from the current Labor Czar for that specific Labor Holiday) toward the common good above and beyond their normal weekly labor. Here are some special rules passed on 6/24/18 specifically pertaining to trading Labor Holiday labor, and the consequences of not participating.

-A member may sell up to 2 lumps of their Labor Holiday labor to another member of the house

-Any lumps sold must be sold at at least $20 per lump

-Make up labor for missed Labor Holidays is assessed at single-time, however fines for un-performed Labor Holiday make-up labor are assessed at triple-time.

-Labor Holiday hours are to be completed within 4 weeks of the official labor holiday date as set by the Labor Czar. After which the hours will go straight to fines. (Voted 2022-12-04)
