*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.
**If a holiday falls on a Saturday, for most Federal employees, the preceding Friday will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes. (See 5 U.S.C. 6103(b).) If a holiday falls on a Sunday, for most Federal employees, the following Monday will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes. (See Section 3(a) of Executive Order 11582, February 11, 1971.)

"Federal law (5
U.S.C., § 6103) establishes
[these] 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)."
