2003 Federal Holidays
| Federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) establishes the following
public holidays for Federal employees. Please note
that most Federal employees work on a Monday through
Friday schedule. For these employees, when a
holiday falls on a nonworkday -- Saturday or Sunday --
the holiday usually is observed on Monday (if the holiday
falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on
Saturday). |

This
holiday is designated as "Washington's Birthday"
in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United
States Code, which is the law that specifies
holidays for Federal employees. Though other
institutions such as state and local governments
and private businesses may use other names,
it is our policy to always refer to holidays
by the names designated in the law.
