According to the ministerial decree, employees working in regular work pattern can calculate with two rescheduled rest days:
- 21st August, Friday and
- 24th December, Thursday
will be rescheduled rest days, resulting in four-day long weekends at both times. Employees will be able to rest for four consecutive days between Good Friday and Eastern Monday as well. 1st May and 23rd October will be Friday; so together with Pentecost, workers can plan next year with three three-day long weekends.
The ministerial decree also specifies rescheduled workdays on Saturdays:
