December

❌ No national holidays ❌

The key takeaways

In a country where workers don’t count their hours, holidays are a good way to take a break. They also boost the local economy, as many activities are organized throughout the country. To ensure that everyone can enjoy these days off, regardless of calendar constraints, specific rules have been put in place to preserve this time off.

When a national holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is a holiday.

When a day falls between two national holidays (except for Sundays and Mondays, as mentioned above), it also becomes a holiday.
