How is that? - In 2027, no working day will be moved

In the next year, 2027, no working day will be moved, as the government did not make the corresponding decision by the established deadline. In the summer, the Ministry of Welfare proposed to move the working day of June 25, 2027, to June 19, and November 19 to November 13. The Cabinet of Ministers was supposed to make a decision on the transfer of working days by July 1 of this year, but this did not happen. Therefore, in the next year, no working day will be moved. The government postponed the decision on the transfer of working days because discussions were held within the coalition about whether to maintain such a practice at all. The then Minister of Welfare, Reinis Uzuliņš (Union of Greens and Farmers), allowed for the possibility of abandoning the transfer of working days, stating that such an option "can certainly be considered." Amendments to the Labor Law were prepared for this purpose, providing for the exclusion of the provision on the transfer of working days. The bill was not adopted by the previous convocation of the Saeima, so the new Saeima will have to decide on its further advancement. If the amendments come into force, working days in Latvia will no longer be moved.
