Default Labor day formula

If your assumption is true (which I don't know),
Say A1 holds 1/9/2006
=A1+MOD(7-WEEKDAY(A1,3),7)
will return first monday of september

The following formula should do the trick. It verifies that the day of the
week is a Monday, the month is September and the day of the month is less
than 8. The example below assumes that the date being evaluated is in cell
A1:

=IF(AND(WEEKDAY(A1)=2,DAY(A1)<=8,MONTH(A1)=9),TRUE ,FALSE)

Default Labor day formula

To find when various federal holidays are observed, see this set of 'rules'.
There are 10 fed holidays, 4 are on fixed dates, 6 are variable. When a
federal holiday falls on Saturday, it is observed on the Friday before. When
it falls on a Sunday, it's observed on the Monday following.
