Georgia Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. General Observance
Public holidays in Georgia are established by national law and published in the official government holiday calendar. These holidays are observed on the designated calendar dates.
2. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Sunday
- If a public holiday falls on a Sunday, it is observed on that day.
- There is no automatic substitution (such as moving the holiday to the following Monday) unless a specific government decree or collective agreement provides otherwise.
3. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Saturday
- If a public holiday falls on a Saturday, it is observed on that day.
- No statutory mechanism automatically shifts the holiday to another weekday unless officially announced.
4. Bridge Holidays (Long Weekends)
- Georgia does not have a nationwide statutory system 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 through employer discretion or specified in collective agreements.
5. Additional Notes
- The official holiday calendar is published annually by the Georgian government and serves as the definitive guide for observance.
- Employers are required to adhere to the official holiday calendar.
- Employees working on a public holiday are entitled to premium pay or compensatory time off in accordance with Georgian labor law.
- For the most current and accurate information, always consult the latest official holiday calendar and any recent government decrees or updates to labor regulations.
