In anticipation of this holiday, the working day is shortened by one hour.
Additionally, the ministry noted that in 2026, Nowruz, which is celebrated on March 21, will fall on a Saturday. According to the current provisions of the Labor Code, the transfer of the day off in this situation is not provided for.
It is important to remember that in organizations where it is impossible to stop work, employees may be engaged in labor on holidays in accordance with the established rules of labor legislation.
The Ministry of Labor urges employers to comply with labor norms when planning employees' working hours during holidays and weekends.
