Most of us who work for the U.S. Postal Service don't have a typical 8-5, Monday-through-Friday schedule. We work afternoons, nights, week-ends, and holidays. Because of this, sometimes it's difficult to figure out the day of our designated holiday.
Maybe this will help:
ELM 434.411.b. applies to:
Part Time Regular (D/A 3X-X)
Full Time Regular and Full Time Flexible employees (D/A 0X-X and D/A 1X-X).
Full Time Regular NTFT and Full Time Flexible NTFT employees (D/A 2X-X)
ELM 434.411.b.:
Variations in schedule for holiday observance are as follows:
(1) If a holiday falls on an eligible employee’s regular scheduled workday, including Saturday or Sunday, the employee observes the holiday on that day.
(2) If a holiday falls on an eligible employee’s scheduled nonworkday, the first scheduled day preceding the holiday is designated as the employee’s holiday except as provided in 434.411b3 and 434.421.
(3) If a holiday falls on a Sunday that is a nonscheduled workday for an eligible employee, Monday is designated as the employee’s holiday. However, if Monday is also a nonscheduled workday, then Saturday is designated as the employee’s holiday. For postal police officers, see the USPS-PPO Agreement.
