The 2024 work schedule for Saturday working days is one of the most important factors in planning public holidays this year. We list when we can rest for several days at once. We will also have a six-day weekend! – writes kemma.hu.
2024 will bring a significant change in terms of Saturday working days. Because, while last year there was not a single Saturday working day, this year there will be three such one-day, so-called “working off” weekends. Moreover, on August 3, December 7 and December 14. This happened because we will also have three holidays that fall on Tuesday or Thursday, and one day of the four-day weekend given in this way must be worked at another time.
We also have a lot of long weekends this year, as none of our holidays fall on a weekend. Like last year, there will again be four three-day long weekends, in addition to two four-day long weekends.
The difference will be that we can prepare for a six-day rest at Christmas. This year it will be as follows:
Three-day long weekends in 2024:
- December 30-31, 2023 and January 1 – Saturday, Sunday and Monday
- March 15-16-17, 2024. – Friday Saturday Sunday
- May 18-19-20, 2024. – Saturday, Sunday, Monday
- November 1-2-3, 2024. – Friday Saturday Sunday
Four-day long weekends in 2024:
- March 29-30-31 and April 1, 2024 – Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday
- August 17-18-19-20, 2024. – Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
Six-day long weekend in 2024:
- 24-25-26-27-28-29 December 2024. – Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Among the specifically Hungarian holidays in 2024, March 15 falls on a Friday and October 23 falls on a Wednesday, you don’t have to work on these days. In 2024, the holiday of the founding of the state falls on Tuesday, August 20.
Good Friday falls on March 29 this year, so March 29-30-31. and April 1 will make up the Easter, four-day long weekend. The Whitsunday weekend in 2024 falls at the end of May, Whit Monday falls on May 20th, so May 18-19-20. days will make up the three-day long weekend. This year, November 1 falls on a Friday, so November 1-2-3. days will make up the three-day long weekend.
Although we are barely past Christmas 2023, it is worth looking ahead to see how the most beautiful holiday of the year will turn out in this year’s calendar. In the case of Christmas 2024, it will be a bank holiday on four working days, as December 24 falls on a Tuesday, December 25 on a Wednesday, December 26 on a Thursday and December 27 on a Friday. This means December 24-25-26-27-28-29. will make up the marathon six-day long weekend.
2024 may bring a little difficulty in terms of days off at the end of the year, at the beginning of 2025, after New Year’s Eve in 2024 will fall on a Tuesday, and New Year’s Day 2025 will fall on a Wednesday. So, it is time to prepare in advance for the celebration of the New Year in 2025, as far as the holidays in 2024 are concerned.
