Public Holidays

Public Holidays are specific days recognized by law or decree when most businesses and government offices are closed to observe cultural, historical, or religious significance. These holidays often commemorate significant events in a nation’s history, celebrate cultural traditions, or recognize religious practices. The observance of public holidays may vary by country and can include national holidays such as Independence Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas, as well as local or regional holidays unique to certain areas. During public holidays, employees may have a day off work, and various public ceremonies, festivities, or community events may take place. In some cases, public holidays may also include specific legal stipulations regarding pay for workers required to work on these days.
