When is National Boss Day?

National Boss Day is slated for October 16 every year. Unless October 16 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, in which case, National Boss Day is switched to the closest weekday. This day to recognize bosses can fall on any day of the week and the date is usually the 15, 16, or 17 of October.

History of National Boss Day

We have a secretary (Administrative Assistant) to thank for National Boss's Day. In 1958, Patricia Bays was working for State Farm Insurance in Illinois. She took the initiative to register "National Boss's Day" with the Chamber of Commerce. The reason she chose October 16^th is that it was her father's birthday (he also happened to be her boss)

In 1962, Illinois made the day official with a proclamation from the Governor and in 1979, Hallmark adopted the day for selling cards. The rest is history and the day is now recognized Nationally in the United States and Canada.

Patricia Bays established the day because she wanted supervisors and employees to become closer and have a more relaxed working environment. Judging from the results, it looks like her plan succeeded.

How to Celebrate Boss's Day

On this day, there are lots of ways to acknowledge your boss and celebrate with her/him. Here are some ideas on how to celebrate Boss's Day:

Begin by telling them how special they are to work for. This can be done in person, via text, email, or hand-written note.

Everyone chips in and gets a greeting card for your boss. Everyone should sign it, make sure not to leave anyone out.

Make a donation to a charity in your boss's name.

Take your boss out for lunch or dinner, or a happy hour.

Give them a small but thoughtful gift. If you know their favorite flowers you can get those, or a book, or a magazine subscription.

Decorate the office like your boss's favorite hobby.
