About this digital tool
The official holidays list shows the holidays and days off for the year you choose, with the date, day of the week and name of each holiday. Pick the year from the list and instantly see the holiday calendar for planning.
Fixed-date holidays appear on the same day every year, while moving holidays (such as some religious holidays) appear only when the year's dates are confirmed in the tool. Check which holidays fall on weekends, because they can affect days off. For any legal or work decision, rely on the government's official decisions and the Labour Code. To count working days between two dates, use the working days calculator.
How to use
- Choose the year.
- See the list of holidays with their dates.
