When is the make-up day in 2025?
There are more consecutive holidays in 2025 than in 2024! The longest holiday days are the 9 days during the Spring Festival holiday. Next year's New Year's Eve (1/28) falls on a Tuesday. Therefore, a functional adjustment holiday will be made on the previous day (1/27), and make-up work will be carried out on February 8. This is also The only make-up day next year. The other consecutive holidays next year will all be national holidays falling on Mondays and Fridays, so there will be no other make-up days, and they will all fall on weekends and become three consecutive holidays.
The General Office of Personnel emphasizes that the currently published 2025 calendar is only applicable to civil servants in government agencies. Employees of public institutions will basically follow the same procedures, while the holiday arrangements for military personnel are determined by the Ministry of National Defense, and the calendars of schools at all levels are formulated by the education authorities. As for holiday arrangements for private enterprises, they are handled in accordance with the Labor Standards Act and relevant regulations of the Ministry of Labor.
