⚖️ Legal Regulations

The Algerian Labor Code governs working conditions, stipulating a standard legal workweek of 40 hours, typically spread over five days. Employees are entitled to paid annual leave and paid public holidays as declared by the government. Islamic holidays are determined by lunar observation and officially announced each year, leading to variable dates.

📰 News

No specific news or regulatory changes for 2026 were identified in the provided sources. The Amazigh New Year (Yennayer) was officially recognized as a public holiday in 2018, representing a recent significant addition.
