2026 Working Days Calendar for Hong Kong, China

Note: This calendar shows only common holidays for the entire country. Each part of the country may have its own working days calendar.

⚖️ Legal Regulations

In China, the State Council issues the official public holiday schedule, which includes compensatory work days on weekends. Overtime pay regulations vary: 300% of normal wage for work on an official public holiday under the standard system, and 200% for adjusted rest days. In the United States, federal holidays are established by law for government offices and widely observed by private businesses, though private sector observance is not mandated by federal law.

📰 News

The official 2026 public holiday schedule for China was released by the State Council in November 2025. It features the longest Spring Festival holiday in history at nine days, with a total of 13 days off for employees. The National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays are separate in 2026.

💡 Insights

A common practice in China is designating Saturdays and Sundays as official 'adjusted working days' to compensate for long holiday breaks, creating extended periods for travel and family reunions. In the US, strategic vacation planning is popular, with employees often combining days off with public holidays to create longer breaks, as suggested by articles on the best days to take off.
