About US Federal Holidays
Federal holidays are public holidays recognized by the US federal government under 5 U.S.C. § 6103. They apply directly to federal employees and the operations of federal agencies. Private employers are not required to observe them, though many do. When a holiday falls on a Saturday, it is observed on the preceding Friday. When it falls on a Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday.
State holidays vary by state and are separate from the federal schedule. If you are calculating business days for a jurisdiction with state-specific holidays, verify the applicable holiday list.
