A little calendar clarity
One calendar. Different kinds of days.
Federal holidays
These dates follow the U.S. federal holiday schedule. When a fixed date falls on a weekend, a separate observed date may apply to a standard Monday–Friday workweek.
Observances & celebrations
Cultural, religious and shopping dates are included for planning. They do not automatically mean a day off. Check local opening hours and your employer’s calendar.
