How weekend holidays work
Federal holidays are set by 5 U.S.C. 6103. For most federal employees, a holiday on a Saturday is observed on the Friday before and one on a Sunday on the Monday after. That is why New Year’s Day 2028 (a Saturday) is observed on Friday, December 31, 2027.
Private employers and banks set their own schedules; many follow the federal list.
