NOTE:
* 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.
** July 4, 2010 (the legal public holiday for Independence Day), falls on a
Sunday. For most Federal employees, Monday, July 5, will be treated as a holiday
for pay and leave purposes. (See section 3(a) of Executive order 11582, February
11, 1971.)
*** December 25, 2010 (the legal public holiday for Christmas Day), falls on a
Saturday. For most Federal employees, Friday, December 24, will be treated as a
holiday for pay and leave purposes. (See 5 U.S.C. 6103(b).)
