Kyrgyzstan Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. General Observance
- Public holidays in Kyrgyzstan are established by law and published in the official holiday calendar.
- These holidays include national holidays (e.g., Independence Day, Constitution Day) and religious holidays (e.g., Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha).
2. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Sunday
- If a public holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed as a public holiday.
- This ensures that employees receive a weekday off in lieu of the holiday.
3. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Saturday
- If a public holiday falls on a Saturday, the following Monday is observed as a public holiday.
- This rule ensures that employees do not lose a day off when a holiday falls on a weekend.
4. Bridge Holidays (Long Weekends)
- The government of Kyrgyzstan may declare additional bridge holidays to extend holiday periods.
- If a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, the government may designate the preceding Monday or following Friday as a non-working day.
- In such cases, a nearby Saturday may be designated as a working day to compensate for the extra day off.
5. Additional Notes
- Employers must comply with the official holiday calendar published by the government of Kyrgyzstan.
- Employees required to work on a public holiday are entitled to premium pay or compensatory time off as mandated by Kyrgyz labor law.
- For the most current and accurate details, always consult the latest official holiday calendar and any government announcements.
