In Poland, there are 13 statutory days off per year - one of the highest numbers in the European Union. These include both state and national holidays, as well as Catholic religious holidays. For HR and payroll departments, it is crucial to properly account for these days when calculating working hours and remuneration.

Veelgestelde vragen

What happens when a statutory day off falls on a Saturday or Sunday? Is the employee entitled to a replacement day off?

In Poland, there is no system of replacement days - if a statutory holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the employee is not entitled to an additional day off in exchange. The Polish Labor Code does not provide for any compensation in such cases. This applies to both Saturdays and Sundays.

How many statutory days off are there in Poland in 2026 and which of them fall on working days?

In 2026, Poland has 14 statutory days off, including Christmas Eve (December 24), which has been a statutory day off since 2025. Most of them fall on working days, which directly affects working hours and schedules. HR departments should take these days into account when planning schedules and calculating nominal working time.

Is Corpus Christi an official day off in Poland and how does this affect company planning?

Yes, Corpus Christi is a statutory day off in Poland, which distinguishes Poland from most other EU countries. In 2026, it falls on June 4 (Thursday). Employers should include this day in their schedules, as many people plan an extended weekend around this date.

How should Labour Day (May 1) and National Day of the Third of May (May 3) be treated in the context of working time settlement?

Both days - May 1 (Labour Day) and May 3 (National Day of the Third of May) - are statutory days off and reduce working hours in a given month. In 2026, both holidays fall on Friday and Saturday respectively, which requires individual analysis of schedules. Employers must remember that for a holiday falling on a Saturday, no replacement day off is provided.

Are there regional days off in Poland that should be included in HR systems?

No - in Poland there are no regional or local statutory days off. All 13 (and from 2025, 14) days off apply uniformly throughout the country. HR departments do not need to apply differentiated calendars depending on the voivodeship or municipality.
