Who decides if a government office or business closes or stays open on Veterans Day?
A. Federal government closings are established by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Generally, when a holiday falls on a non-workday — Saturday or Sunday — the federal government is closed on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday). A complete schedule of Federal Government closings can be found on the OPM’s Web site. State and local governments, including schools, are not required to follow OPM closure policies and may determined for themselves whether to close or remain open. Likewise, non-government businesses are free to make their own decisions to close or remain open for business, regardless of federal, state or local government closings.
