There will be two three- and three four-day long weekends next year.
"In March and October, one working day will have to be worked on a Saturday each, which without relocation would fall exactly between a holiday and a weekend in 2022," announced Tamás Schanda. The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Innovation and Technology added: "We can spend four days at Easter, and three each at Pentecost and Christmas at home, relaxing and celebrating with family."
The ministry responsible for employment policy is responsible for changing the working hours due to public holidays. In 2022, the rearrangement of working days will be justified in connection with March 15 and All Saints' Day. In the case of the former, March 14 will have to be worked the following week, on March 26, and for the latter, October 31 will have to be worked over two weeks earlier, on October 15, on Saturdays. Next year's third four-day long weekend will be Easter.
Next year, in addition to Pentecost, the day after Christmas will also add a Monday to the weekend. Three additional public holidays will not affect the working hours of the majority in any way: in 2022, May 1st and October 23rd will fall on Sundays, and August 20th will fall on Saturdays.
