I was a Government employee for many years and NEVER had 48 paid holidays. As far as I can remember we celebrated New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. When we were stationed in DC, Inauguration Day was also a holiday because every street in DC was closed for security. That’s 11. A far cry from 48. Just wanted to set the record straight.
