About New Year's Day, and who gets the day off.
New Year's Day has been a federal holiday since 1870, one of the first four along with Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
When January 1 falls on a Saturday, the federal holiday is observed on Friday, December 31 of the year before, so one calendar year can have two New Year's Day holidays and the next none.
Nearly every employer gives New Year's Day off: 99% of employers in Mercer's 2024 survey.
