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

How do these holidays affect a working calendar?
The 2027 dates shown here include 12 Monday-to-Friday holidays, 6 Saturday dates and 0 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.
