This year, five so-called long weekends are waiting for working people, when they will be able to rest for three days or longer.
The first three-day non-working weekend will be traditional - Easter is celebrated over three days every year, from April 11 to 13.
There are also three days off at the beginning of May. Since International Labor Day will be on Friday, you will not have to go to work on May 1-3.
Statehood (the coronation of Lithuanian King Mindaugas) and National Anthem Day, July 6th, will be Monday next year, so the long weekend will last from July 4th to July 6th.
After adding All Hallows' Eve to the list of public holidays, three days off are also planned at the beginning of November - from October 31 to November 2.
In 2020, it will be possible to celebrate Christmas and New Year for four days - from Thursday to Sunday, December 24-27.
There are 14 public holidays in the Labor Code, some of which are on weekends.
According to the code, work is only carried out on holidays with the consent of the employee, except for cases where work is carried out according to the cumulative working time record or in the cases specified in the collective agreement.
