Guam Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. General Observance
Public holidays in Guam are established by U.S. federal law, local ordinances, and are published in the official holiday calendar. These holidays are normally observed on the calendar dates specified in the official schedule.
2. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Sunday
- If a public holiday falls on a Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday.
- This substitution ensures that workers receive a weekday off.
- Employers must follow the official holiday calendar; employees working on the substitute Monday are entitled to overtime pay or compensatory time off as required by Guam labor regulations.
3. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Saturday
- If a public holiday falls on a Saturday, it is observed on the preceding Friday.
- This adjustment ensures that the holiday is observed during the regular workweek.
- Employers are required to adhere to the official holiday calendar; employees working on the substitute Friday receive the appropriate premium compensation as mandated by Guam labor law.
4. Bridge Holidays (Long Weekends)
- Guam does not have a statutory mechanism that automatically adds 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 policies.
5. Additional Notes
- The official holiday calendar is published annually by the Government of Guam and serves as the definitive guide for public holiday observance.
- Employers must comply with the official calendar and any subsequent government directives regarding substitute days.
- Employees working on a public holiday—whether on the original date or on the substitute day—are entitled to premium compensation or compensatory time off as required by Guam labor law.
- For the most current and precise information, always consult the latest official holiday calendar and any relevant government updates.
