Working Hours & Public Holidays 2026

2026: Polish statutory holidays. Article 130 reduces full-time working hours by eight for each holiday other than Sunday. A Saturday holiday is not a calendar weekday, but still reduces the statutory total. The employer schedules the compensating day within the settlement period.

2026: The calendar covers holidays common to all German states. Regional holidays must be added for the state where the team works. This Monday-to-Friday planning scenario is not the six-day statutory framework used to assess working-time limits.

2027: The 2027 preview includes the three national holidays: Republic Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti. State, religious and employer holidays remain outside this partial calendar. Select the actual working weekdays rather than assuming every organization follows a five-day week.

2026: The preview uses the recurring mandatory rest days in Article 74; election-related dates are not included. Constitution Day, Benito Juárez’s birthday and Revolution Day are observed on the Mondays specified by law. Choose the actual weekly schedule; the planning tool does not determine contractual or statutory hours.

2026: Ten federal general holidays are included. Provincial holidays and the employer-selected compensating day for Saturday Boxing Day are excluded. This 2026 planning calendar is partial until that replacement date is assigned.

2027: The 2027 preview lists federal general holiday dates. Provincial and territorial rules, eligibility and the dates of compensating leave can differ. Weekend replacement leave is not assigned automatically in this preview, so use the employer’s calendar when setting actual capacity.

2026: The Cabinet Office calendar includes statutory substitute holidays and days between two national holidays where the law applies. In 2027 the vernal equinox falls on Sunday 21 March, followed by the substitute holiday on Monday 22 March. Company shutdowns and annual leave are separate.

2026: The 2026 calendar includes regular holidays and special non-working dates from Proclamation 1006, plus the listed Eid dates. February 25 is a special working day and is not deducted. Public-holiday categories and holiday pay must be checked separately from calendar capacity.

2027: The 2027 preview includes confirmed regular and special non-working dates in Proclamation 1427. Eid dates still require separate proclamations and remain excluded, so the preview is partial. Special working days are not deducted. Regular and special holidays can have different pay rules.

2026: The 2026 calendar uses SAMA RTGS closure dates: March 19-22 and May 26-28, plus Founding Day and National Day. Financial institutions have longer Eid closures; private employers have separate rules. The initial Monday-to-Friday scenario is editable and does not describe the local weekend.

2027: The preview includes Founding Day and National Day only. Eid dates and sector-specific closures are not included. Sunday-to-Thursday, six-day and other schedules must be selected explicitly in the planning tool. The Monday-to-Friday default is a scenario, not a statement about the local weekend.

2026: Partial federal-government reference: 19-22 March and 25-29 May, plus New Year and National Day. Other Islamic holidays are excluded pending date verification. Private-sector Eid leave follows different announcements.

2027: The preview contains New Year’s Day and the two National Day dates only. Islamic holiday dates require official confirmation and are not estimated. The start of Ramadan and Isra and Mi’raj are not included as public holidays. Select the actual working week for the employer and sector.

2026: The 19 Bank of Thailand financial-institution closures include 2 January, Labour Day and observed dates on 1 June and 7 December. Southern branches and Islamic banks can have additional holidays. This is not every private employer’s calendar.

2027: This partial preview contains recurring fixed dates. Lunar Buddhist holidays, special government declarations and substitute dates are not included. Bank of Thailand calendars apply to financial institutions; do not assume they define every private employer’s holidays. Set the actual working weekdays.

2026: South African law adds the following Monday when a public holiday falls on Sunday. The 2027 calendar therefore includes 22 March and 27 December. Saturday holidays are not automatically moved by that rule. Employer-specific shutdowns and leave must be deducted separately.

2026: Partial calendar for both years: six recurring fixed-date federal holidays only. Eid holidays, Ashura, moon-sighting notifications, optional holidays and local closures are excluded. New Year’s Day is not assumed to be a universal public holiday. December 25 is counted once even though two celebrations coincide. Use the Cabinet Division’s final notices before committing delivery dates.

2026: The partial 2026 calendar includes eight fixed-date holidays and the published Thingyan break of April 11-19. Lunar festivals and National Day are excluded while their dates are checked, so the table is not the full annual holiday list. Count the weekdays inside the Thingyan interval, not nine extra days on top of weekends. Confirm employer closures separately.

2027: The 2027 preview contains only the eight recurring fixed-date holidays. Thingyan’s extended closure and lunar festivals are not yet included in this dataset. The preview is partial; its hours may decrease as confirmed dates are added. Do not reuse the April 2026 closure for 2027.

2026: The 2026 table includes all seventeen national holiday dates in the published joint decree. Its eight cuti bersama dates are excluded from the default private-workplace calculation. Essential services can schedule work during holidays under applicable rules. Weekend holiday dates remain visible and are not automatically replaced with a Monday.

2027: This dataset’s 2027 preview currently includes five verified recurring fixed-date holidays only. Lunar and other movable holidays and cuti bersama are excluded until the 2027 joint decree is fully checked here. The preview is partial even if a fuller official calendar has been published; use the official decree before finalizing a schedule.

2026: Both years are partial: seven fixed-date, full-day holidays only. Religious festival days and half-day eves, including October 28 afternoon, are excluded. Turkey’s statutory holidays cannot be represented accurately by treating each eve as a full eight-hour day. Budget extra reductions only after checking Law 2429 and the actual working hours that overlap a half-day holiday.

2026: Partial reference for both years: Labor Day, National Day and Malaysia Day only. It is not a complete eleven-holiday employer calendar. The King’s birthday, state ruler or Federal Territory holiday, religious festivals, declared extra holidays and substitute dates are excluded. State and employer coverage must be resolved before using annual hours for staffing.

2026: Both years are partial and include only January 1, April 30, May 1 and September 2. Five Tet holiday days, the Hung Kings festival and the second National Day date are excluded. Public-sector bridge days and swapped working Saturdays are not modeled. This avoids presenting one employer’s extended break as a nationwide private-sector calendar.

2026: Both tables cover the thirteen mandatory national holidays in Article 234 of the Labor Code. Carnival Tuesday and municipal holidays under Article 235 are excluded. Good Friday may be observed on another locally meaningful Easter date. Weekend holidays stay on their calendar dates; no general Monday substitution is assumed. Local and contractual exceptions can change a particular workplace’s total.

2026: The tables include all seventeen named general holidays in the government’s 2026 and 2027 notices. Sundays remain governed by the selected working weekdays, rather than being entered as fifty-two extra holidays. Published substitute dates are already included. In April 2026 the Ching Ming and Easter collision gives April 6 and 7; do not replace those dates a second time.

2026: The calendar covers the thirteen Austrian national holidays in section 7 of the Working Rest Act. Good Friday and regional patron-saint days are not included as universal days off.

2026: Ten statutory Belgian holidays are listed on their nominal dates. A holiday on Sunday or a normal inactive day must be replaced by an active working day. Those replacement dates are not assigned here, so both years are partial planning calendars. On a Monday-Friday schedule, 15 August and 1 November 2026 need replacements. The employer or sector calendar determines the dates.

2026: The reference is Geneva canton’s published nine-date calendar for 2026. It is not the holiday calendar of every Swiss canton. The Geneva Fast on 10 September and Restoration of the Republic on 31 December are included; neighbouring cantons can have other holidays. Check the workplace canton before comparing capacity.

2027: This Swiss reference uses Geneva’s published cantonal calendar, not a nationwide list. Only 1 August is a federal holiday; other cantons have different dates. The 2027 published list places 1 August on Sunday, while the same source also describes conditional substitutions. Extra employer replacement dates are not assigned here, so the 2027 planning preview is partial.

2026: Luxembourg has eleven statutory public holidays. A holiday on a normally non-working day can create compensatory leave to be taken within three months. The calculator lists nominal dates and does not assign those leave dates, so both years are partial. Good Friday is not one of the eleven general statutory holidays; bank and sector calendars can differ.

2026: Ireland has ten public holidays. Good Friday is an ordinary working day. Employers determine the applicable benefit: a paid day off on the date, a day off within a month, extra annual leave or extra pay. A weekend holiday does not automatically give the following Monday off. The table assumes the listed weekday holidays are not worked; employer-chosen benefit dates are outside it.

2026: The Danish calendar includes ten public holidays and excludes Constitution Day, 1 May, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve as universal holidays. Those extra days can be free under a contract or agreement. Great Prayer Day is not included. Public-holiday time off depends on employment terms, and retail closure rules do not determine every employee’s schedule.

2026: Sweden’s thirteen named public holidays are included. Midsummer Day and All Saints’ Day fall on Saturdays; Midsummer Eve, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are not statutory holidays. Maundy Thursday and Whit Monday are ordinary dates. Extra leave when National Day falls at a weekend depends on the collective agreement and is not assigned by this calendar.

2026: This Norwegian planning reference includes national religious holidays plus 1 May and Constitution Day on 17 May. Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and negotiated shorter days are outside the full-day calendar. In 2027 Constitution Day and Whit Monday share 17 May: the calculation deducts that date once, not twice. Contractual holiday work and pay need separate checks.

2026: The Finnish calendar covers thirteen named public holidays. Midsummer Day and All Saints’ Day are Saturdays; their eves and Christmas Eve are not included as universal full days off. Åland has additional local dates. Public-holiday pay usually follows the collective agreement, with specific statutory protection for Independence Day.

2026: The 2026 reference is the Central Bank of Iceland’s published closure calendar. It treats Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve as full bank closures; this must not be transferred to every employee, whose agreement may give only part of those days off. Religious Sundays are outside this bank closure list. Weekday names in the source contain inconsistencies; calculations use the confirmed civil dates.

2027: The 2027 Iceland preview is partial: it includes only recurring fixed full-day holidays supported by the current source. The bank has not published a full 2027 closure list here. Movable holidays, Commerce Day and Christmas/New Year’s Eve closures are omitted rather than inferred. Check the employer’s agreement, especially when an eve is only a partial day off.

2026: The Estonian reference lists national and public holidays. Employers generally shorten the working day immediately before New Year, Independence Day, Victory Day and Christmas Eve by three hours. This full-day calendar does not apply those shortened-day reductions, so its annual hours are a partial planning baseline, not the Estonian statutory total. The holiday dates themselves follow the current law.

2026: Singapore’s published eleven-holiday calendar is used with Sunday as the rest day. Sunday holidays are represented by the official Monday replacement, once per holiday. If a holiday falls on a non-working Saturday, another day off or extra pay may be due; that choice is not assigned here. The baseline is partial for actual employee capacity. Different rest days require the employer’s calendar.

2026: The 2026 employee planning reference includes Seollal, Chuseok, the local election and Constitution Day, restored as a public holiday in 2026. Observed weekdays replace the corresponding weekend dates once. Workers’ Day applies to covered employees, not every public institution. Government-service and small-workplace rules differ; confirm the applicable employment calendar.

2027: The South Korean 2027 preview is partial and contains only confirmed recurring fixed-date holidays, without lunar festivals, election dates or unverified substitute days. It is not the full 2027 government calendar. Workers’ Day is included for the employee planning scenario but must not be assumed to close all public services. Check workplace coverage before committing a staffing plan.

2026: New Zealand’s eleven national holidays are shown for a Monday-Friday employee, with the published observed dates. The regional anniversary day is not included, so both years are partial for workplace capacity. Mondayisation depends on whether the original date would otherwise be worked; never deduct both dates. Matariki falls on 10 July 2026 and 25 June 2027.
