Under this proposal, if a non-working public holiday coincides with a weekend, the day off will be granted on the following working day. An exception will be made for the second day of Easter according to the church calendar, which is already a non-working day.
It is clarified that this proposal will enshrine in national legislation the provisions currently in force in a number of European countries. Under these provisions, if a non-working public holiday falls on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday), the day off is carried over to the next working day.
If these changes are approved, as planned, from 1 January 2027, two public holidays next year may fall under the new provisions: 9 May (a Sunday) and 25 December – Christmas Day according to the Gregorian calendar (a Saturday).
Consequently, these provisions will need to be taken into account when drawing up work schedules.
