→Federal Holidays: add proposed Federal holidays
Under Federal law and regulation, generally regardless of a full-time employee's schedule, an employee receives only eight hours holiday pay (or four, if only half a day is declared). So if an employee works a 9-hour or 10-hour shift, s/he must either work the remaining hours, or use another form of leave to cover them. Part-time employees paid holiday pay only if they are scheduled to work on that day of the week.

Several new Federal holidays have been proposed, including:

*September 11 Day<ref>https://www.fedsmith.com/2021/09/24/federal-holidays-september-11-proposed/</ref>
*Election Day<ref>https://www.fedsmith.com/2021/06/23/federal-employee-holiday-not-this-time/</ref> (this is a holiday in many countries, some states, and in some union contracts it is either a full day off, or employees are given time off to go vote)
