2015 Federal Holidays 2015 Federal Holidays is a brief overview of all the days that are observed in the United States as federal holidays and observances as was put down by the Federal Law (5 USC 6103). As per the rules of the country if a federal holiday falls in the weekend or any other non working day, then the holiday is observed on the nearest working day of the week preceding or following. Under general circumstances federal employees work from Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday are normally holidays for the federal employees. As such if a federal holiday falls on a Saturday as per the date, then it is observed on the preceding Friday; and if such a holiday falls on a Sunday, then the following Monday is declared a federal holiday to observe the occasion. As per the Federal Law, the country of United States observes ten federal holidays in one calendar year as put down by the United States Congress. It is a unique feature to notice that unlike most other countries the United States does not have any National Holiday. This is because of the fact that the United States Congress can extend its authority to declare only holidays for federal institutions. However, since these federal holidays are linked to the history and traditions of the land most of these holidays are also observed as State holidays although it is not a mandate to do so. This is also applicable in case of financial institutions. Although it is not technically true, yet these federal holidays are often referred to as legal holidays or public holidays since these are observed by most people in the country.
