⚖️ Legal Regulations

Morocco's Labor Code (Dahir n° 1-03-194) governs working conditions. The standard legal work week is 44 hours, typically spread over five days. Public holidays are established by royal decree, and there is no legal provision for 'bridge days' or compensatory days off when a holiday falls on a weekend.

💡 Insights

The standard work week in Morocco runs from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend. When major Islamic holidays like Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha fall mid-week, it is common for businesses to have reduced activity in the surrounding days as families prepare for and recover from celebrations. Regional areas may observe additional local holidays.
