2026 Working Days Calendar for Babil, Iraq

⚖️ Legal Regulations

The Iraqi Labour Law (No. 37 of 2015) governs working conditions, stipulating that work on an official holiday entitles an employee to double pay (200% of daily wage) plus a compensatory day off. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) may announce additional regional holidays, creating a dual regulatory framework for certain observances.

📰 News

The year 2026 is noted for a rare overlap of the major religious festival Eid al-Fitr and the national holiday Nowruz in March, which is expected to create an extended 4–5 day break. No other major legislative changes to working days or holidays for 2026 have been announced in the provided sources.

💡 Insights
