What happens when a Polish holiday falls on a Saturday?
Under the Labour Code, a public holiday on a Saturday lowers the working-time quota, so the employer must grant another day off in the same settlement period — the date is chosen by the employer, not fixed nationally. In 2026 this applies to Assumption Day (15 August) and the Second Day of Christmas (26 December). Holidays on Sundays (3 May, 24 May, 1 November in 2026) carry no extra day.
