FYI
In California, state holidays and public holidays often refer to official days recognized by the government, but there is a difference in terms of their impact:
1. State Holiday:
• A state holiday is recognized by the state government, meaning that government offices, schools, and public institutions may close, and state employees may be given the day off.
• In California, a state holiday like Lunar New Year allows state employees to take time off using their vacation or compensatory time, but it doesn’t mandate a statewide public closure for businesses or private entities.
• It’s largely specific to government employees and services rather than the general public.
2. Public Holiday:
• Public holidays are widely recognized and generally observed by the entire population. These are days where most businesses, government offices, and schools may be closed, and employees in both public and private sectors often get the day off.
• Public holidays include widely recognized days like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s Day.
In short, while a state holiday is recognized at the governmental level, public holidays typically affect the entire community, with both public and private sectors observing them more broadly. |
