⚖️ Legal Regulations

The Tunisian Labor Code (Law No. 94-29) sets the standard workweek at 48 hours, typically spread over 6 days. Overtime is regulated and compensated. Employees are entitled to paid annual leave and public holidays as stipulated by law. The list of official public holidays is decreed by the government and includes both fixed and variable Islamic holidays.

💡 Insights

The typical work schedule in Tunisia is Monday to Saturday, with Friday often being a shorter day for prayers. It is common for businesses to close early during the holy month of Ramadan. While not official policy, 'bridge days' are sometimes informally taken when a holiday falls close to a weekend, though this depends on the employer.
A notable cultural practice is the use of 'replacement holidays' when a public holiday falls on a weekend, which can affect the total annual working day count. The typical work schedule is a six-day week, though this may vary. Tunisia celebrates Women's Day as a public holiday, reflecting its focus on women's rights.
