Grenada Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Sunday
- The public holiday is moved to the following Monday.
- This substitution ensures that workers receive a full weekday off.
- Employers must follow the official holiday calendar; employees working on the substitute Monday are entitled to overtime pay or compensatory leave as provided under Grenadian labor law.
2. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Saturday
- If a public holiday falls on a Saturday, it is observed on that day.
- There is no automatic shift to another day.
3. Bridge Holidays (Long Weekends)
- There is no statutory mechanism for automatically adding extra “bridge” days to extend a holiday into a long weekend.
- Any additional days off beyond the official holiday dates are provided only through specific government announcements or via employer discretion and collective agreements.
4. Additional Notes
- The official public holiday calendar is published annually by the Government of Grenada and serves as the definitive guide for holiday observance.
- Employers must comply with the official calendar and any subsequent government directives.
- Employees working on a public holiday—whether on the original fixed date or on the substitute day—are entitled to premium pay or compensatory time off according to Grenadian labor law.
- For the most current and precise information, always consult the latest official holiday calendar and any recent government announcements or legislative updates.
