2026 Working Days Calendar for Cambodia, Asia
Legal Regulations
The United States federal holidays for 2026 are established by federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) primarily for government employees. Private sector observance is not mandated by federal law but is common practice. State and local governments may observe additional holidays. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) governs standard working hours and overtime pay but does not require holiday pay.
The Cambodian Labor Law mandates all listed public holidays as paid days off. Since September 2021, holidays falling on a Sunday are no longer automatically observed on the following Monday, though a specific compensatory holiday (like March 9, 2026) can be declared. Employers requiring work on a public holiday must pay the regular wage plus 100% additional compensation. The official holiday list for 2026 was confirmed by government sub-decree.
News
No specific news or regulatory changes for 2026 were identified in the provided sources. The list of federal holidays remains consistent with previous years, including Juneteenth which became a federal holiday in 2021. Observance patterns, such as the July 3rd day off when Independence Day falls on a Saturday, follow established rules.
The Royal Government of Cambodia confirmed the 2026 public holidays through Sub-Decree No. 167, issued on September 18, 2025. A specific compensatory holiday on March 9, 2026, has been declared because International Women's Day falls on a Sunday. No other major regulatory changes for 2026 working days are indicated in the provided sources.
Insights
A common cultural practice is creating 'bridge days' by taking leave between a holiday and a weekend to extend time off. The typical full-time work schedule is Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Many businesses close early on the day before major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, though this is not a universal legal requirement.
Cambodia's calendar features three major multi-day holiday clusters: Khmer New Year (April), Pchum Ben Festival (October), and the Water Festival (November). Several holidays are lunar-based, with dates subject to official announcement. The typical work schedule is Monday to Friday, with strategic long weekends possible around certain holidays.
