That's interesting. Your list differs from what we use here on Fort Bragg, NC. The federal government holidays for 2005 for the military and all federal government employees are:

New Year's Day 12/31/2004 (Because the 1st was on a weekend)
Martin Luther King Jr Birthday 1/17
Washington's Birthday 1/21
Memorial Day 5/30
Independence Day 7/4
Labor Day 7/5
Columbus Day 10/10
Veterans Day 11/11
Thanksgiving Day 11/24
Christmas 12/26 (Because the 25th is on a weekend)

Special Notes:
* January 1, 2005 (the legal public holiday for New Years Day) falls on a Saturday. For most Federal employees, Friday, December 31, 2004, will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes. It does not matter that December 31, 2004 is in the prior calendar year. (See 5 U.S.C. 6103(b).)

Inauguration Day, January 20, 2005, falls on a Thursday. An employee who works in the District of Columbia, Montgomery or Prince George's Counties in Maryland, Arlington or Fairfax Counties in Virginia, or the cities of Alexandria or Falls Church in Virginia, and who is regularly scheduled to perform non-overtime work on Inauguration Day, is entitled to a holiday. There is no in-lieu-of holiday for employees who are not regularly scheduled to work on Inauguration Day.

This holiday is designated as "Washington's Birthday" in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees. Though other institutions such as state and local governments and private businesses may use other names, it is our policy to always refer to holidays by the names designated in the law.

** December 25, 2005, ( the legal public holiday for Christmas Day) falls on a Sunday. For most Federal employees, Monday, December 26, will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes. (See Executive Order 11582 of February 11, 1971.)



I work for a bank and we do it slightly different. We substitute days so that we observe:

New Years Day
President's Day
Good Friday
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving AND Friday afterwards 24th and the 25th
Christmans and the day afterwards 25th and the 26th

As long as 10 days are observed, it is allowed by BB&T. The parent corporation observes the standard holidays I listed above with no substitutions.
