⚖️ Legal Regulations

During national and religious holidays, government institutions and offices are closed and employees are given a paid day off. Regional holidays, such as those specific to Kurdistan, are designated as working days. The labor code establishes these non-working days for the public sector, with private sector adherence varying.
