In Italy, there are 12 national public holidays per year, established by law, which require workers to abstain from work while maintaining the right to ordinary compensation. HR and payroll professionals should note that public holidays falling on Saturday or Sunday do not entitle workers to a substitute day off. In addition to these, there are patron saint festivities, which are valid only in the relevant municipality and not across the entire national territory.
If a national public holiday falls on a Sunday, is the worker entitled to a compensatory day off?
No. In Italy, there is no mechanism for a substitute day: if a public holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, the bank holiday is simply forfeited. However, some national collective labor agreements (CCNL) may provide for improvements over the legal standard, so it is always advisable to verify the applicable contract.
How is a worker remunerated if they work on a national public holiday?
A worker who works on a bank holiday is entitled to their normal daily remuneration plus an allowance, the percentage of which is established by the applicable CCNL. In the absence of specific contractual provisions, the legal standards apply, which guarantee additional compensation in any case. It is essential to correctly record these hours in the payslip with the appropriate attendance code.
Is the patron saint's day considered a bank holiday for the purpose of calculating working days?
The patron saint's day is recognized as a bank holiday exclusively in the municipality where it is observed, not at the national level. Consequently, dependent workers in that municipality are entitled to paid time off from work, while colleagues working in other territories work ordinarily on that day. In payroll processing, it is necessary to manage this variable at the work location level.
Does Ferragosto affect the processing of August salaries? How should this be managed?
August 15 (Ferragosto) is a national public holiday in all respects and must be excluded from the count of working days in the month of August. Since many companies close for vacation during the entire Ferragosto week, it is advisable to plan salary payment deadlines in advance to avoid delays. Banks and treasury services may have reduced availability in the days immediately before and after.
How is the number of working days in April 2026 calculated, taking public holidays into account?
In April 2026, there are two national public holidays: Sunday, April 5 (Easter) and Monday, April 6 (Easter Monday), plus April 25 (Anniversary of the Liberation), which falls on a Saturday, a non-working day for most workers on a five-day week. Considering a standard working week from Monday to Friday, the actual working days in April 2026 total 21, since April 25 falls on a Saturday and April 6 (Monday) is a bank holiday. It is always advisable to cross-check this calculation with the company calendar and the applicable CCNL.
