Frequently asked questions
Which public holidays are uniformly non-working days across Austria?
All 13 statutory public holidays apply nationwide without regional variations. In addition to traditional holidays such as New Year and Christmas, this includes Corpus Christi and Assumption of Mary, which are nationwide non-working days in Austria, whereas they are regulated differently by region in other countries.
Do Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve fall under the statutory public holidays in Austria?
No, Christmas Eve (24 December) and New Year's Eve (31 December) are bank holidays, not statutory public holidays. For most employees in other sectors, these days are considered regular working days, although many employers make special arrangements.
Does Austria have compensation days for public holidays that fall on a Sunday?
No, Austria does not have a system of compensation days or replacement days. If a statutory public holiday falls on a Sunday, the entitlement to time off is forfeited—a statutory compensation payment is not provided.
How many statutory public holidays does Austria have per year in total?
Austria has 13 statutory public holidays per year. This is more than in most neighboring countries, as religious holidays such as Corpus Christi and Assumption of Mary are nationwide non-working days in Austria.
What is the significance of the National Day on 26 October?
The National Day on 26 October commemorates Austria's declaration of neutrality in 1955 and has been a statutory public holiday since 1965. It is one of the most important national commemorative days and is observed throughout the country.
