This year, the working day on Monday, June 22 (the day between Sunday and the Ligo holiday), was moved to Saturday, June 27. What does this transfer mean for working Latvians?
In Latvia, such transfers are regulated by the Cabinet of Ministers' decree. They create convenient "long weekends," but the total number of working hours for the year remains unchanged.
Key features of accounting:
-
Transfers are mandatory for state budget institutions and employees whose schedule is set from Monday to Friday.
-
In private companies, these rules are advisory (regulated by internal regulations or employment contracts).
Payment: Days worked on Saturday are paid at the standard rate, as the total number of working hours in the month and year remains unchanged. There are no additional allowances for overtime for the transfer of a day.
