About Veterans Day

Federal holiday honouring military veterans, observed on November 11 marking the WWI armistice.

This page is the 2025-specific edition: it shows the actual weekday, the observed date if a weekend rule applies, and the placement of the holiday inside the United States fiscal year that contains it. For the canonical, year-agnostic overview see the main Veterans Day page.

2025 weekday and observance

In 2025, Veterans Day falls on Tuesday, November 11. A Tuesday holiday is the most disruptive weekday for payroll and AP because it splits the work week. Many teams add an unscheduled day off on Monday to bridge the gap, effectively making it a four-day weekend.

No weekend-shift rule applies in 2025 because the holiday falls on a regular weekday. Both the calendar date and the observed date are Tuesday, November 11, 2025. Treat it as a non-working day in payroll, vendor payment scheduling, and any business-day calculation that drives accruals or settlement.

Where it lands in FY2026

For organisations on the United States fiscal calendar, Veterans Day 2025 sits in fiscal month 2 (FM2), inside quarter Q1 of FY2026. From this date, you have approximately 323 days remaining until fiscal year-end on September 30, 2026. That distance matters because year-end close planning typically begins 60 to 90 days out — meaning if FYE is within that window, this holiday already sits inside the close-planning runway and any client-facing or vendor-facing deadlines that touch it should be pre-cleared rather than rescheduled later.

Operational impact for finance teams

For finance and operations teams, Veterans Day 2025 reduces the working-day count for FM2 by one. If the holiday falls within two business days of a fiscal month-end, expect downstream impact on accrual timing (revenue cutoff, inventory counts, AP cutoffs) and on banking value dates. Wire transfers and ACH/Faster Payments typically settle the next business day; international wires may slip two days when both origin and destination observe the holiday. See our guide on mapping holidays to fiscal months for a worked example of folding observance dates into the close calendar.

If your business operates payroll on a biweekly cadence aligned to the OPM federal schedule, check the 2025 pay period schedule for the pay period containing this date — the payday for that period may shift to the preceding business day.
