work-2 days or 1 day
Outside of Israel an extra day is added to holidays because in the old days it took a while for the message that the new moon had been observed to propagate to the Diaspora, so to make sure the right day was celebrated in the Diaspora, two days are celebrated in case we started the holiday too early. This was never done in Israel, so that's why they only take the Monday off.

Work on Shavot?
To find if you are supposed to work or not for the feast of weeks, go to the torah. Its is to be a high sabbath, a holy convocation, a moed unto G-d.
