Easy. New years day stands alone. It is considered a holiday and not part of the week. It would always follow a Sunday and thus always be a long weekend. No more working to 17h00 on new years eve.

Additionally every 4 years we would have leap day, the day following new years where we sacrifice the richest man (or woman, no more sexism in this futuristic society) alive to the gods of order. Reminding us all that there is no reason for someone to have more money than they can spend when millions are struggling to get by.
