It's probably a wash either way, money-wise:

"State open, but many take day off", Asbury Park Press, 11/24/07:

It was the first day-after-Thanksgiving Friday in years that state workers did not enjoy a paid, bonus holiday, compliments of the governors, who traditionally have inked executive orders closing state offices and making it a four-day weekend.

But not this year, though many state workers took Friday off nevertheless.

Not since 1961 have state workers had to work on Thanksgiving Friday, moving the governor's office to receive more than 5,000 complaints, some angrily contending that the workers were entitled to the time off.
