⚖️ Legal Regulations

The listed holidays are United States federal holidays established by law (5 U.S.C. 6103) for federal government offices and employees. Private sector observance is not mandated by federal law but is common practice. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) governs standard working hours and overtime pay but does not require paid holidays.

💡 Insights

A common cultural practice is creating 'bridge days' by taking leave between a holiday and a weekend to extend time off. The typical full-time work schedule is 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday. Many businesses close early on the day before major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, though this is not a federal requirement.
