Public Holidays in 2024-2025

Public holidays in 2025

The ministerial decree on the working schedule around public holidays in 2025 has been published. Based on this, the planning and preparation of working time calendars, payroll preparation calendars, working time banking systems and working time calculations for 2025 can be started.

On 8 April 2024, Decree 11/2024 (IV. 8.) NGM of the Minister of National Economy on the working schedule around public holidays in 2025 was published.

The working schedule around public holidays in 2025, which entails a deviation from the calendar working schedule, applies to all employers and their employees working on the general working schedule.
