In most countries, employees are entitled to paid leave on official public holidays. The rules in Ukraine depend on employment contracts and local labour law. If a public holiday falls on a weekend, a substitute day off ("in lieu") may apply — check with your employer or local government guidance for details.

The dates of most public holidays in Ukraine are fixed by law and remain the same each year. However, some holidays — particularly those tied to religious or lunar calendars — shift by a few days annually. Our calendar is updated each year to reflect the official published dates.
