Sweden has 13 official public holidays per year that are statutory non-working days. These are also called red days and are traditionally displayed in red on Swedish calendars. HR and payroll personnel use the term public holiday or red day when referring to these general days off.
What happens if a public holiday falls on a weekend - does the employee receive a substitute day?
No, Sweden does not have a system of substitute days. If a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is lost without compensation. This is a key difference compared to certain other countries and is important to consider in payroll planning.
Are Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and Midsummer's Eve official public holidays?
No, these are not legally public holidays but are universally treated as non-working days in Sweden according to industry standard. In the payroll system they are displayed separately for clarity, but they are effectively red days in practice and employees are normally expected to have these days off.
How many working hours should be deducted for a public holiday according to Swedish labor law?
A public holiday corresponds to one working day, which at 40 hours per week means 8 hours. Employers follow this standard when public holidays are deducted from working time or when calculating overtime compensation.
Do the number of public holidays vary between different regions in Sweden?
No, there are no regional public holidays in Sweden. All public holidays apply throughout the country and are the same regardless of where the company is located. Sweden's National Day (June 6) is the only public holiday that is not traditionally religious.
Which public holidays are moveable and vary from year to year?
The Easter holidays (Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday), Ascension Day, Whit Sunday, and Midsummer's Day are moveable and are based on the lunar calendar. HR personnel must therefore plan these holidays each year as they do not fall on the same date annually.
