Public Employees Get Entire Semana Santa Off

Public employees will get the entire Semana Santa holiday off, the government announced yesterday following a session of the cabinet.

Unlike in the last three years, where government employ holidays have been reduced to a minimum, this year for Semana Santa public employees will be off work from Monday April 6 and return to work on Monday April 13. And because government employees do no work on weekends, the Semana Santa vacation period turns out to be 10 days.

Last year, as with the previous two years, government employees were required to work from Monday to Wednesday during Semana Santa, having only Good Thursday and Good Friday, both legal holidays, off.

The announcement was made by Rodrigo Arias, ministro de la Presidencia.

Government offices will also be closed during the entire week of Semana Santa.
