If you plan to handle any banking tasks or send out a package this weekend, it’s wise to prepare in advance.

This coming Monday marks Labor Day, a federal holiday during which banks and post offices will be closed.

This holiday honors “the social and economic accomplishments of American laborers” and originated in the late 1800s, when labor advocates sought a federal holiday to acknowledge the numerous contributions workers have made to the nation’s strength, prosperity, and welfare, as stated by the U.S. Department of Labor.

The inaugural Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. By 1894, another 23 states had recognized the holiday. Subsequently, President Grover Cleveland signed legislation on June 28, 1894, establishing the first Monday in September as a national holiday.

Here’s what to keep in mind regarding the operation hours of banks, post offices, and shipping services on Labor Day.
