⚖️ Legal Regulations

The United States does not have a national law mandating paid public holidays; the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) governs minimum wage and overtime but not holidays. Federal holidays are established by Congress and apply primarily to federal government employees and the District of Columbia. Private sector observance of federal holidays is at the employer's discretion, though many businesses and state/local governments follow the federal schedule.

💡 Insights

A common cultural practice is to create 'bridge days' by taking leave between a holiday and a weekend to extend the break. The typical full-time work schedule is 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. The day after Thanksgiving, known as 'Black Friday,' is not a federal holiday but is a paid day off for many employees and marks the start of the holiday shopping season.
