Editorial and corrections policy

People use these pages to plan rent, bills and leave around their paydays, and payroll staff use them to publish a calendar. A wrong holiday or a wrong count can make a payment late, so every rule points back to the text it was read in, and every date is computed from those rules.

Who is responsible

Radif Partners, reachable at contact@mypaydaycal.com.

What we read

• the United States Code on govinfo.gov: 5 U.S.C. 6103 (holidays), 5 U.S.C. 5504 (federal pay periods and pay), 15 U.S.C. 260a (daylight saving time);
• the Code of Federal Regulations on ecfr.gov, Title 29, Part 778 (workweek, payday for overtime, salary conversions);
• opm.gov: federal holiday tables and the leave year fact sheet; frbservices.org: Federal Reserve holiday schedules; the National Finance Center’s pay period calendars;
• the Department of Labor’s Hours Worked Advisor, NIST’s daylight saving time page, and the House Clerk’s roll calls for bills that would change the clocks.

Sources we refuse

Payroll software vendors, pay stub sellers, forums and undated lists never supply a date or a rule here. Where official sources are silent, as for the paydays of each federal payroll provider, the page says so instead of guessing.

Review cycle

The holiday and leave year tables are read again every year when OPM and the Federal Reserve publish the next years, and whenever Congress changes a holiday or the clock change rule. The tests compare the computed dates with those tables before each publication.

Corrections

1. We open the source again.
2. We correct the rule in the data file and add an automated test for the case.
3. The site rebuilds and every page shows the new date.

Independence

No employer, bank, payroll provider or agency pays for or reviews what is published here, and the site carries no affiliate link. See also the method page. Version of October 28, 2026.
