Federal holidays in the United States are an integral part of the nation’s calendar, offering workers a chance to rest, celebrate, and commemorate important historical events and figures. Federal employees have specific work schedules and pay regulations on federal holidays, determining whether they are required to work and how they receive paid leave. In 2025, the United States will observe eleven federal holidays, each with its own significance and impact on both public and private sector employees. Private businesses have the discretion to decide whether to observe these holidays, and many tend to close, aligning their operations with those of government offices.
