What this value means
14 holidays. Fixed civil/Christian dates are statutory (Code du Travail art. 24.2; note that only 1 May and 7 August are legally chômés et payés for all workers). The four Muslim festivals — Lendemain de la Nuit du Destin, Aïd-el-Fitr, Aïd-el-Adha (Tabaski) and Maouloud — are PROVISIONAL: their dates are fixed each year by ministerial decree after COSIM/CODISS observe the crescent moon and may shift ±1-2 days. Published 2026 calendars disagree by a day on the movable dates (e.g. Lendemain de la Nuit du Destin listed as 16 or 17 March; Maouloud as 25 or 26 August) — treat the Muslim dates as estimates pending the official annual decree. Christian movable feasts (Easter Monday 6 Apr, Ascension 14 May, Whit Monday 25 May) are computed from Easter 5 April 2026.
