Eritrea Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. General Observance
Public holidays in Eritrea are established by national legislation and official government decrees. The official holiday calendar specifies the dates on which each holiday is to be observed.
2. Weekend Holidays
If a public holiday falls on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday), it is generally observed on that same day. There is no statutory requirement to shift the holiday to another weekday.
3. Employer Obligations and Compensation
Employers are required to follow the official public holiday calendar. Employees who work on a public holiday—whether on a weekend or a weekday—are entitled to overtime pay or compensatory time off as provided by Eritrean labor regulations.
4. Bridge Holidays and Additional Days Off
Eritrea does not have a statutory mechanism that automatically adds extra “bridge” days to extend a holiday period. Any additional days off or special arrangements are provided at the discretion of employers or through special government initiatives.
5. Staying Informed
For the most accurate and current information, consult the latest official holiday calendar published by the Eritrean government and any recent updates to labor laws.
