* This holiday is designated as "Washington's Birthday" in section 6103(a)
of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays
for Federal employees. Though other institutions such as state and local governments
and private businesses may use other names, it is our policy to always refer
to holidays by the names designated in the law.
Federal law (5 United States Code 6103) establishes the
following public holidays for Federal employees. Please note that most Federal
employees work on a Monday through Friday schedule. For these employees, when
a holiday falls on a nonworkday -- Saturday or Sunday -- the holiday usually
is observed on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday
falls on Saturday).
