United States federal holidays are set by Title 5 of the US Code, section 6103, and currently number eleven: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr Day, Inauguration Day (every fourth year, federal employees in the DC area only), Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. These dates bind federal agencies and federal employees only; private employers are not required to observe them. Each state separately legislates its own state holidays, which is why Patriots' Day shuts Massachusetts and Cesar Chavez Day shuts California while neither registers nationally.
There is no federal definition of a working day for private payroll. The Fair Labor Standards Act regulates overtime by hours worked in a workweek, not by counting business days, and most states default to a Monday through Friday business week with banks closed on weekends and federal holidays. Federal court filing deadlines under FRCP Rule 6(a) exclude Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, and roll forward when the last day lands on one of those. Banking settlement follows the Federal Reserve holiday schedule, which mirrors the federal list but is published separately because the Fed is not a federal agency in the 5 USC 6103 sense.
