Liberia Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. General Observance
- Public holidays in Liberia are established by law and published in the official holiday calendar.
- These holidays include national holidays (e.g., Independence Day, National Unification Day) and religious observances (e.g., Fast and Prayer Day, Christmas).
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, it is observed on that day.
- There is no automatic substitution to the following Monday.
4. Bridge Holidays (Long Weekends)
- Liberia does not have a statutory system for automatic bridge holidays.
- The government may occasionally declare additional non-working days to extend holiday periods, particularly for significant national celebrations.
5. Additional Notes
- Employers are required to comply with the official holiday calendar published by the Liberian government.
- Employees who work on a public holiday are entitled to premium pay or compensatory time off, as mandated by Liberian labor law.
- For the most current and accurate information, consult the latest official holiday calendar and any government announcements.
