Transferred working days
For state and municipal institutions the Cabinet moves these working days to a Saturday, creating a longer break. Private employers are not bound by it, so the totals above are unchanged.
- 02/01 17/01 day off; worked on the Saturday instead
- 22/06 27/06 day off; worked on the Saturday instead
Working days are Monday–Friday minus public holidays set by the law “Par svētku, atceres un atzīmējamām dienām”; Easter-linked dates are computed, and when 4 May or 18 November falls on a weekend the following Monday becomes a day off. Pre-holiday days are the working day before a holiday, shortened by one hour under Section 135 of the Labour Law. Figures assume an 8-hour day.
