Anguilla Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Weekend
- If a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday.
- This ensures that workers do not miss out on a public holiday due to it falling on a weekend.
2. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Saturday
- The public holiday is moved to the preceding Friday or the following Monday, depending on government announcements.
- Government offices and many private businesses follow this rule, but essential services may remain open.
3. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Sunday
- The public holiday is automatically observed on Monday, meaning most businesses and government offices will be closed.
- This rule applies to all public holidays, including New Year's Day, Christmas, and Anguilla Day.
4. Bridge Holidays (Long Weekends)
- Anguilla does not have a formal system of bridge holidays, but the government may declare additional holidays when a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday.
- Many businesses, especially in the tourism sector, may offer employees a day off on Monday or Friday to create a long weekend.
5. Special Cases for Public Holidays
- Anguilla Day (May 30th): If this national holiday falls on a weekend, the government typically moves it to Monday.
- Boxing Day (December 26th): If it falls on a weekend, it is usually observed on the following Monday.
- Good Friday and Easter Monday: These holidays are always observed on a Friday and Monday, ensuring a long weekend.
- The King's Official Birthday: This holiday does not have a fixed date, and the government announces the observance each year.
6. Additional Notes
- The Anguilla government publishes an official list of public holidays annually, including any adjusted observances for holidays that fall on weekends.
- Private businesses are not legally required to close, but most follow the official public holiday schedule.
- Employees working on a public holiday are generally entitled to extra pay or a compensatory day off, depending on their employment contract.
- Since Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory, it follows some UK holiday traditions, but it also has local observances unique to the island.
