Romanians will soon prepare for a new mini-vacation. No less than four free days will be available for going on vacation to the sea or the mountains.
The mini-holiday will be possible due to the Christian-Orthodox feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God (Saint Mary) 2023, with a red cross.
From the end of 2022, the government decided to bridge in the month of August, Saint Mary.
Saint Mary’s Day is a legal holiday every year, on August 15, so it is a public holiday.
According to the Labor Code, regardless of whether they work for the state or the private sector, Romanians get time off on August 15 to celebrate the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
Legal holidays in Romania are days declared by law to be non-working, other than weekends.
The religious holiday of 2023 falls on a Tuesday, which is why the Government decided, as early as December of last year, that Monday, August 14, the date preceding the legal holiday of August 15, be a day off.
For certain categories of public sector employees, the weekend of August 12-13 can be extended with two more days off on Monday (August 14) and Tuesday (August 15).
“The government has decided that August 14, 2023 will be a day off for public sector employees
The government established, through a decision, that August 14, 2023 will be a day off for employees in public institutions and authorities, considering that they are between public holidays in which no work is done, according to the Labor Code, and weekly rest days.
The decision to set days off at the beginning of the year, for staff in the budget system, was taken according to the Labor Code, so that employers and employees can set and forecast their days off for the whole year.
The provisions of the normative act do not apply to workplaces where the activity cannot be interrupted due to the production process or the specifics of the activity, nor to magistrates and other categories of personnel within the courts involved in the settlement of lawsuits with a deadline of August 14, 2023 or participants in these processes.
According to the document approved by the Government, collection and payment operations, payment operations regarding public debt service, as well as any debit operations ordered by the European Commission from the own resources account in lei opened at the State Treasury will be carried out through the central office of the Ministry of Finance.
Also, the territorial administrative units/subdivisions that on August 14, 2023 have payment obligations due for the loans contracted from privatization revenues, according to the due dates attached to the loan agreements, will take the necessary measures in time to pay the due amounts.
In order to recover the days off, public institutions and authorities will extend their working hours accordingly until August 31, 2023, according to the established plans,” says a press release from the Ministry of Labor.
