What defines an official public holiday?

A public holiday is an officially recognized non-working day established by sovereign law or government decree, where government offices, schools, and most financial institutions are closed.

How are holidays falling on weekends handled?

Most countries observe in-lieu substitute days (such as the preceding Friday or following Monday) when a fixed-date public holiday lands on a Saturday or Sunday.

Can I use public holidays to calculate project deadlines?

Yes, our Business Days Calculator automatically cross-references these statutory holidays to calculate true working-day turnaround times.
