What happens when a regular holiday lands on a Sunday?

When a regular holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is not automatically considered a holiday. This is consistent with labor laws which state that a holiday can only be recognized if it has been officially proclaimed. In this context, unless there is a specific proclamation or decree declaring the Monday after a Sunday holiday as a special holiday, it does not qualify as a holiday.

In many regions, if the holiday is a recognized regular holiday and it happens to fall on a Sunday, that does not inherently grant a holiday status to the following Monday. Instead, it leaves room for local authorities or the government to issue a separate proclamation if they choose to recognize that day as a holiday, which is not always the case.

Understanding this concept is essential, particularly in terms of statutory benefits and how they are applied depending on holiday status, which can vary significantly based on local regulations or business practices.
