English term or phrase: Skeleton Crew Day

I cannot seem to find any reference in spanish as to how to say Skeleton Crew Day. It refers to the days when the offices are open with only esencial personnel, still open to the public. Usually it is on or around a holiday.

Explanation:
Esto me suena a una de esas construcciones peculiarmente anglosajonas. Sospecho que vas a tener que ser creativo(a), léase inventar un equivalente. Ahí te remito una posibilidad.

skeleton crew day Servicios básicos/Trabajo a reglamento

Explanation:
En realidad, no hay una expresión equivalente, creo que tendrás que explicar y ampliar. Entiendo qué quieres decir, es cuando, por ejemplo, hay un feriado y los hospitales, ciertos lugares públicos (estaciones de servicio, por ej.), etc. mantienen como una "guardia" para la atención mínima y necesaria. La segunda opción tiene más que ver con problemas laborales, por los que se decide prestar el mínimo servicio indispensable para cubrir necesidades, pero se trabaja poco y a reglamento. Suele pasar en Argentina. Ojalá te sirva!
