When federal holidays fall on a Saturday, the Office of Personnel Management instead moves the holiday to Friday for pay and leave purposes. When federal holidays fall on a Sunday, OPM generally designates the following Monday off work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll full-time employees, including those on flexible or compressed work schedules, are entitled to an \u2018in lieu of\u2019 holiday when a holiday falls on the employee\u2019s nonworkday,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opm.gov\/policy-data-oversight\/pay-leave\/pay-administration\/fact-sheets\/holidays-work-schedules-and-pay\/\" target=\"_blank\">OPM fact sheet<\/a> on federal holidays states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPart-time employees are not entitled to an \u2018in lieu of\u2019 holiday. If an agency\u2019s office or facility is closed due to an \u2018in lieu of\u2019 holiday for full-time employees, the agency may grant paid excused absence to part-time employees who are otherwise scheduled to work on that day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most feds therefore have the day off work Friday, and those employees that are needed to work that day are generally entitled to holiday premium pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHoliday premium pay is equal to an employee\u2019s rate of basic pay. Employees who are required to work on a holiday receive their rate of basic pay, plus holiday premium pay, for each hour of holiday work \u2014 i.e., double or 200 percent of their rate of basic pay,\u201d the fact sheet states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEmployees who are required to perform any work during basic (non-overtime) holiday hours are entitled to a minimum of 2 hours of holiday premium pay.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal holidays that fall on weekends generally create an &#8216;in lieu of&#8217; holiday the day before
