Guinea Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. General Observance
Public holidays in Guinea are established by national legislation and government decrees and are published in the official 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 statutory provision to substitute the holiday with a day off on the following Monday unless an official decree specifies 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 a Saturday holiday to another weekday.
4. Bridge Holidays (Long Weekends)
- Guinea does not have an automatic statutory mechanism for adding extra “bridge” days to extend a holiday into a long weekend.
- Any additional days off provided to extend a holiday period are determined by specific government announcements or through employer discretion and collective agreements.
5. Additional Notes
- Employers must adhere to the official public holiday calendar as published by the Government of Guinea.
- Employees working on a public holiday are entitled to premium pay or compensatory time off as provided under Guinean labor law.
- For the most current and accurate information, always consult the latest official holiday calendar and any recent government announcements or legislative updates.
