⚖️ Legal Regulations

According to the Labor Code, public holidays are non-working days for all employees, and employers must pay double for work performed on these days. Specific laws mandate partial workdays on December 24 and 31, requiring reduced working hours.

📰 News

Parliament is considering a bill to introduce a new public holiday called 'National Unity Day' in November. There is also a legislative proposal to make the Friday after Thanksgiving a nationwide partial workday.

💡 Insights

It is common practice to create 'bridge days' by taking leave between a public holiday and a weekend to extend time off. The typical work schedule follows a 9 AM to 6 PM pattern with a one-hour lunch break.
