This year has brought a “headache” in terms of public holidays: May Day falls on Saturday, Sunday, August 15, and Christmas and New Year also fall on Saturday. The May Day holiday, however, was moved to another day, which creates thoughts and appetites for moving other holidays. According to the law, the mandatory holidays in our country are the following: In general, in Greece the holidays that fall weekend do not move on weekdays. The only exception is May Day, which is more of a general strike than a public holiday. In addition, paragraph 2 of Article 60 of the new labor law refers to public holidays: This refers to non-compulsory holidays (such as November 17, which is “honored” only in the field of education) or to local holidays (such as St. Demetrius in Thessaloniki or Andreas in Patras). to miss the holidays that fall on the weekend, but there are countries that follow a different path. A typical example is this with the holidays in Great Britain and the countries of the British Commonwealth (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc.). Although there is a slight difference in terms, in essence the holidays). They get their name from the fact that the banks are closed in those days. Of course, the same goes for most shops, services and educational institutions. So if the holidays of January 1st and 2nd, Christmas and December 26th (the so-called Boxing Day) fall on a weekend, then the following Monday is a public holiday. In fact, as these holidays follow each other (December 25 & 26 and January 1 & 2), if, like Christmas and New Year, Saturday falls, then except Monday and Tuesday were a day off from work. Of course, there are minor differences, additions and subtractions in different parts of the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). It is also worth noting that Boxing Day (December 26) can be a holiday, but usually the shops are open and have discounts (something like Black Friday) so that people can shop on time. Ukraine and our neighboring Albania follow an easy solution: When a holiday falls on a weekend, then the following Monday people do not have to go to work. In Serbia, when non-religious national holidays fall on Sunday, the next day is late . Something similar happens in Monaco with New Year, Christmas, All Saints’ Day (November 1) and National Day (November 19). The system followed in Belgium is interesting: then workers are entitled to one day off (extra from their normal license). This is done in consultation with the employer either whenever he appoints or whenever the employee wishes. Finally, a rather complex system applies in Spain. First, there is a maximum of 14 public holidays a year: At least 9 are nominated by the national government and at least 2 are selected at regional level. they choose not to “honor” it and prefer to designate as an official holiday one of their local holidays, which of course will “fall” on a working day.

In Serbia, when the non-religious national holidays fall Sunday, the next day is a public holiday. Something similar happens in Monaco with New Year, Christmas, All Saints’ Day (November 1) and National Day (November 19).
The system followed in Belgium: If any of the country’s public holidays fall on a weekend, then employees are entitled to one day off (in addition to their normal license). This is done in consultation with the employer either whenever he appoints or whenever the employee wishes.
