I heard they get a lot more days off than the UK and here is what you have in England.
1. New Year - Early Finish 31st December and 1st January
2. Easter - Friday, Sunday and Monday
3. Mayday - First Monday in May
4. Spring Bank - Last Monday in May
5. Summer Bank - Last Monday in August
6. Christmas - Early Finish 24th December and 25th plus 26th for Boxing Day
These are the official 10 holidays. Some dates are changed slightly in order to give people a 3-day weekend by making the nearest Monday the holiday.
These are Federal holidays. All govt offices are closed, there is no mail delivery and banks are closed. There may be a couple more specific to the state you live in but only celebrated by the people living in that state.
