Prime Minister Donald Tusk has ordered that Monday, November 10, 2025, be a public holiday for government employees, compensating for All Saints’ Day falling on Saturday, November 1.
Compensatory Holiday Under Labor Code
Under Article 130 §2 of the Polish Labor Code, if a statutory holiday lands on Saturday, employers must grant employees an alternative day off within the same settlement period. Prime Minister Tusk has applied this provision to public administration.
Government Administration Day Off
Government ministries, voivodeship offices, county starost offices, and other public administration units will be closed on Monday, November 10, 2025.
Four‑Day Weekend for Public Workers
Public‑sector employees will benefit from a four‑day weekend running from Saturday, November 8 to Tuesday, November 11, which includes National Independence Day.
Civil Status Office Exception in Warsaw
The only public office that will remain open is the Civil Status Office on 5 Andersa Street, providing death registration services from 08:00 to 16:00.
Private Sector Flexibility
The order applies only to public administration; private companies are free to offer alternative days off, but are not obliged to do so. Decisions to provide a substitute holiday will vary by employer.
