In the last weeks of 2026, there are four legal holidays, with three falling on weekdays. Employees can enjoy two mini-vacations, while students have their winter break. The first break starts on Saturday, November 28, and includes St. Andrew's Day on Monday, November 30, and Romania's National Day on December 1. The second mini-vacation occurs over Christmas, with three consecutive days off from December 25 to 27. However, December 24 and 31 are not legal holidays. Students' winter vacation lasts from December 23 to January 10, 2027. Not all workplaces observe these holidays uniformly, especially in essential services. The labor code provides compensatory time off for those working on holidays, while specific rules apply to the public sector regarding compensation for extra work during holidays.
