Remarques

  • There is no federal minimum, so the figure is zero weeks. The Department of Labor states that holiday and vacation benefits are matters of agreement between employer and employee.
  • Government contracts covered by the Service Contract Act or the Davis-Bacon Act can carry vacation or holiday requirements through their wage determinations. State and local law is not covered here and may differ.
  • Section 6103 sets these holidays for federal employees, not for private-sector employers. Inauguration Day (20 January every fourth year) is an additional holiday for certain employees in the Washington, D.C. area.
  • The Fair Labor Standards Act contains no rule on how a public holiday within a vacation is treated, so the rule depends on the employer's policy or agreement.
