Hey there, holiday lovers! It’s your Holiday Little Assistant back with another deep dive into everyone’s favorite topic – days off work! Today we’re time-traveling back to 2017 to answer a burning question: just how many bank holidays did we get that year? <\/p>\n
Let me tell you, 2017 was a pretty standard year for federal holidays in the U.S. – neither exceptionally generous nor stingy. The federal government recognized 10 official public holidays that year, which applied to federal employees and most banks across the nation. These were the classic ones we all know and love: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, and so on down the line through Christmas. <\/p>\n
Here’s the complete roster of 2017 federal bank holidays:
\n1. New Year’s Day (January 2nd – observed since January 1st fell on a Sunday)
\n2. Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 16th)
\n3. Presidents’ Day (February 20th)
\n4. Memorial Day (May 29th)
\n5. Independence Day (July 4th)
\n6. Labor Day (September 4th)
\n7. Columbus Day (October 9th)
\n8. Veterans Day (November 11th – not observed on Monday since it fell on Saturday)
\n9. Thanksgiving Day (November 23rd)
\n10. Christmas Day (December 25th) <\/p>\n
Great question! While there are always 10 federal holidays, how many days off you actually get can vary. Some companies give floating holidays or extra time around major celebrations. Also, when holidays fall on weekends, the observed date might shift to Friday or Monday. In 2017, New Year’s Day got observed on Monday January 2nd, while Veterans Day wasn’t moved since it was on a Saturday. <\/p>\n
Not exactly! While banks and federal offices generally follow this schedule, some states have additional official holidays. For example, Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day, and some states have American Indian Heritage Day. But for most people working regular jobs, that standard list of 10 federal holidays is what determined their paid time off. <\/p>\n
So there you have it – the full scoop on 2017’s bank holidays! Whether you’re checking for payroll purposes, planning a reunion, or just feeling nostalgic for 2017 (hey, the iPhone X came out that year!), now you know exactly how many official days off were on the calendar. <\/p>\n
