The US has 11 federal holidays a year. When one falls on a Saturday, federal offices close the Friday before; on a Sunday, the Monday after. Banks follow the Federal Reserve, which closes for the same 11 days but stays open on the Friday before a Saturday holiday. The stock market closes for 9 of them plus Good Friday, and stays open on Columbus Day and Veterans Day.

No federal law makes private employers give these days off or pay extra for working them. Many do, through company policy. If you are paid time and a half or double time for a holiday, the time and a half calculator and the holiday pay guide show the maths. To count business days around holidays, use the working days calculator.
