Days off for all employees in Romania. The mini-holiday of May 1 and Easter is announced, so here are the days that will be free for budget workers, but also for Romanians who work privately.
When is the May 1 and Easter mini-holiday
This year, Easter falls on Sunday, May 5. Before the celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord, there will be other days off, as Labor Day is celebrated on May 1, a legally declared day off.
So, in 2024, the May 1 and Easter holiday could have 6 days divided as follows:
- May 1 falls on Wednesday and will be a legal holiday. Budget workers will also benefit from the day off on May 2nd, Thursday, and thus it will be possible to bridge the gap.
- May 3rd is a day off because Good Friday is celebrated, before Easter.
- Orthodox Easter 2024 is celebrated on Sunday, and Monday, May 6, is a day off again because it is the second day of Easter.
6 days off in May for budget workers
In 2024, on May 1st and Easter, there will be 4 legal days off for budget workers (May 1st, May 2nd, May 3rd and May 6th), and two more days off from the weekend, which will make up a 6-day mini-holiday.
According to the legislation in force, employers whose employees work on public holidays are obliged to grant them compensation. Employees are entitled to compensatory time off for the next 30 days.
When is Easter 2024 for children
The structure of the school year 2023-2024 provides for the Easter holiday for students with the completion of the fourth module, i.e. on April 27. The last day of school for students, before the holidays, is Friday, April 26.
The 2024 Easter break lasts 11 days, so pre-schoolers and pupils will return to school on Wednesday 8 May when the fifth term of the 2023-2024 school year begins.
The next school term extends until June 21, after which the students will enter the summer vacation.
- VIIIth grade students finish the school year on June 14, then the 2024 National Assessment follows for them, starting on June 25.

Which employees get paid statutory days off
Depending on the field of activity, employees may be called to work on certain days off. According to the Labor Code, employees who cannot benefit from a day off on public holidays must receive compensation in days off, granted in the next 30 days by the employer.
If no days off are granted, employees benefit from an increase to the basic salary that cannot be less than 100% of the basic salary corresponding to the work performed in the normal working schedule.
Employers who do not comply with the provisions of the law regarding legal days off risk fines between 5,000 and 10,000 lei.
Vacation leave is the most common employee benefit and starts at a minimum of 20 days. As a rule, most companies offer 21 days of leave, but many companies may grant additional days off. Employees are also entitled to 30 days of unpaid leave, granted only once.
