Andorra Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Weekend
- If a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, there is no automatic substitution or compensatory day off.
- However, some businesses and government offices may grant an additional day off at their discretion, usually on the following Monday.
2. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Saturday
- No official replacement holiday is given.
- Some employers may allow employees to take leave on Friday or Monday, but this is not legally required.
3. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Sunday
- The public holiday remains on Sunday with no official substitution on Monday.
- Some government offices and private businesses may choose to close on Monday, but this is not mandatory.
4. Bridge Holidays (Long Weekends)
- Andorra does not have a formal system of bridge holidays.
- However, if a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, many employers may grant Monday or Friday off, creating a four-day weekend.
- This is more common in the private sector and for international businesses.
5. Special Cases for Public Holidays
- National Day (Our Lady of Meritxell, September 8th): If it falls on a weekend, there is no automatic replacement.
- Christmas (December 25th) and Boxing Day (December 26th): If they fall on a weekend, there is no substitute holiday, but businesses may close on the nearest weekday.
- Easter Holidays (Good Friday and Easter Monday): These holidays are always observed on Fridays and Mondays, ensuring long weekends.
- Religious Influence: As a Catholic country, many Andorran public holidays are tied to Christian celebrations, and their observance does not change based on the day of the week.
6. Additional Notes
- Public holiday observance is largely left to employers, with no strict government rule enforcing replacement days.
- Retail businesses often remain open on public holidays due to the country's reliance on tourism.
- Employees who work on a public holiday are usually entitled to extra pay or a compensatory rest day, depending on their employment contract.
