floating holiday
Movable paid leave
A floating holiday is a paid day off that an employee can take at their discretion rather than on a fixed date.
Unlike Christmas or Thanksgiving, which fall on specific days, floating holidays let workers choose when to use them—often for religious observances, birthdays, or personal needs: I'm using my floating holiday for Eid this year.
