Key Planning Insights for 2026

Compensatory Days: If a legal holiday falls on a Sunday, employees are entitled to a compensatory day off within three months. In 2026, Europe Day (May 9), Assumption (Aug 15), and St. Stephen’s Day (Dec 26) fall on Saturdays, while All Saints’ Day (Nov 1) falls on a Sunday and triggers the statutory compensatory day.

Good Friday Status: Good Friday (Apr 3) is a bank holiday but not a statutory public holiday for the general workforce. Banks are closed, while most businesses remain open.

Christmas Eve (Dec 24): Christmas Eve is not a statutory public holiday, but it is a half‑day bank holiday in the afternoon and many companies grant time off.

Bridge Days (Ponti): New Year’s Day (Jan 1) and Ascension Day (May 14) fall on Thursdays, and National Day (Jun 23) falls on a Tuesday-prime opportunities to bridge with a Friday or Monday off.
