1 Business Holiday Schedule
According to the Labor Law, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids, and Social Affairs has proposed a Lunar New Year holiday schedule for 2022 that includes one day before the New Year and four days after. Therefore, the holiday will commence on Monday, January 31, 2022 (Gregorian calendar), and conclude on Friday, February 4, 2022 (Gregorian calendar). This period translates to January 29 to February 4 on the Lunar calendar, marking the last day of the Lunar year of the Ox and the first four days of the Lunar year of the Tiger.
Business Holiday Schedule for Lunar New Year
This holiday schedule is specifically designed for government employees and officials, and when combined with the weekend days as per the Labor Law, it results in a six-day holiday for this group, starting from Saturday, January 29, 2022 (Lunar calendar’s 27th day of the 12th month), and concluding on Sunday, February 6, 2022 (Lunar calendar’s 6th day of the first month).
The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids, and Social Affairs encourages businesses to adopt this proposed holiday schedule for their employees as well.
For Businesses Operating on Saturdays
In cases where businesses operate on Saturdays, their employees will enjoy a six-day continuous holiday before the Lunar New Year, from January 30 to February 4, 2022 (Lunar calendar: from the 28th day of the 12th month to the 4th day of the first month).
For Businesses Closed on Saturdays
On the other hand, businesses that are closed on Saturdays will follow the same holiday schedule as government employees and officials. Consequently, their employees will be entitled to a five-day holiday before the Lunar New Year and a four-day holiday after, commencing on January 29 and ending on February 6, 2022 (Lunar calendar: from the 27th day of the 12th month to the 6th day of the first month).
