About Slovak public holidays
Slovakia distinguishes between state holidays (štátne sviatky) and days of rest (dni pracovného pokoja) under Act No. 241/1993. Most are paid days off, but the 2024-2026 consolidation packages stripped several holidays of their paid-day-off status while keeping their formal designation. Three holidays shift with Easter: Good Friday, Easter Monday, and the Easter school break.
When a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, no compensation day is granted. If it falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, that creates a bridge day opportunity: one leave day for a four-day weekend.
Want to make the most of your time off in 2024? The leave optimiser calculates which combinations of public holidays and leave days create the longest stretches of consecutive days off.
