The 11 legal public holidays in 5 U.S.C. 6103: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
What if a holiday falls on a weekend?
We use the observed date that applies to most federal employees: a Saturday holiday moves to the preceding Friday and a Sunday holiday to the following Monday.
Are state holidays included?
No. Only federal holidays are skipped. If your state or employer observes other days, subtract them separately.
Is the start date counted?
When counting between two dates, both ends are included. When adding business days, the start date isn't counted.
