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.
