I think "Feiertage" is the right term for it. Yes "Feiertage" and "Ferien" are not the same. "Ferien" are only use in the context of school and university. I think "Urlaub" is not correct cause that is only the days for a individual person when she take her free days which are a dependency of the contract between her and her company.

The label has a wrong German translation. The word "holidays" can have two meanings in English: 1. "official day without work" (German translation: "Feiertag" resp. "Feiertage" when referring to a single or few days; "Ferien" when referring to a longer period.) 2. "vacation" (German translation: "Urlaub", i.e. a holiday trip.) Currently, the German translation reads "Urlaub", which is meaning no. 2 and obviously wrong in this context. The correct translation in this context would be no. 1, but it may be difficult to decide if "Feiertag(e)" or "Ferien" should be used.
