What to know about United States's 2027 holidays
The working week here is Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday off.
These are federal holidays: federal employees get them by law and most private employers follow them, often only some of them. States add their own.
OPM moves a holiday off the weekend: for a Saturday holiday "the preceding Friday will be treated as a holiday", for a Sunday one "the following Monday". Four 2027 holidays move this way.
The one most lists miss: New Year’s Day 2028 falls on a Saturday, so Friday 31 December 2027 is a federal day off in 2027. OPM’s own 2027 table has 11 rows; a 2027 calendar needs 12.
