Every date, and the day it falls on
The national calendar includes Saint Francis on 4 October, restored as a public holiday from 2026. Local patron-saint days and collective-agreement provisions can change the workplace calendar. Calendar capacity is not a calculation of holiday pay or contractual annual hours.

How do these holidays affect a working calendar?
The 2027 dates shown here include 7 Monday-to-Friday holidays, 2 Saturday dates and 4 Sunday dates. A Monday-to-Friday calendar subtracts the included weekday dates once. Whether weekend holidays create a substitute day or reduce statutory hours depends on the country, region, employer and working schedule.
A listed national or federal holiday is not automatically a paid day off for every private employer. Check the scope statement above: it identifies the calendar being used and the local exceptions. Observed dates already included in the list must not be added a second time. Employer-specific substitutions and regional holidays need an additional check.
What should be checked before the schedule is finalized?
- Confirm the workplace’s country and region, plus any sector-specific holiday rules.
- Choose the actual working weekdays and check official substitute dates.
- Place approved leave and company closures in the schedule separately from public holidays.
- Keep the schedule and the record of hours actually worked as separate documents.
