What is the difference between a holiday and a non-working day?

  • holiday A holiday is a holiday on which workers in the government and private sectors can stop working. The same happens with students who stop attending classes. If an employee works on this day, they will receive extra pay, usually triple, even if it is a Sunday.
  • holiday A non-working day is mandated by the incumbent government and is aimed at the public sector. In the private sector, the employer decides whether their workers work or not. If an employee works casually, it does not mean that they will get extra pay as they will only get the same salary without any increase. Those taking time off should make up that time with overtime, work Saturdays, or treat them as part of a vacation.
