Federal Employees Paid Leave Act

The Federal Employees Paid Leave Act requires federal agencies to ensure that employees have access to paid leave for certain federal holidays. Essentially, it mandates that eligible federal employees receive paid time off on designated holidays, helping them balance work and personal life while maintaining continuity of government services. The law promotes fair treatment by providing paid holiday leave proactively, aligning federal employee benefits with common workplace standards, and recognizing public holidays as important days for rest and reflection.
