*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, 2020 (the legal public holiday for Independance Day), fall on a Saturday.  For most Federal Employees, Friday, july 3, will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes. (See 5 U.S.C. 6103(b).)

 

OPM web site: "Federal law (5 U.S.C., § 6103) establishes [these] 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)."
