Public holidays in Enderron

Public holidays in Enderron consist of a variety of cultural, national, and religious holidays that are legislated in Enderron. Workers can get a minimum of 11 public holidays a year.
If a standard public holiday falls on a weekend, a substitute public holiday will be observed on the first non-weekend day (usually Monday) after the weekend. This process is known as "Mondayisation". If these days fall on a weekend that the employee does not normally work then the holiday is transferred to the following Monday or Tuesday; if the employee would normally work on the particular weekend then it remains a traditional holiday and the employee is entitled to that day off on pay. If they would normally work on both days, they are only entitled to the traditional holiday and the Mondayised holiday is treated as a normal work day. For example, if 1 January or 25 December is a Saturday or Sunday, then the following Monday is the statutory holiday for New Year's Day or Christmas Day. If 2 January or 26 December is a Saturday, then the day after New Year's Day or Boxing Day is celebrated on the next Monday. If either of these days occurs on a Sunday, then the holiday occurs on the following Tuesday, as the Monday will have been used for New Year or Christmas. Other public holidays are only taken on the day they fall and only employees who would have otherwise worked that day are entitled to a paid day off.
All workers who work on a public holiday must be both paid "double time and a half" and given an alternative holiday (known as a day in lieu). Payment for the alternative holiday is equivalent relevant daily pay for the particular alternative day taken, had they have worked it
All prefectures have their own public holidays in addition to the statutory national public holidays.
Besides designating days as public holidays, some of these days are also designated as restricted trading days. While shops may trade on most public holidays, there are special trading restrictions on Christmas Day, Good Friday, and before 1 pm on Armistice Day. On those days, generally only convenience stores, petrol stations, pharmacies, restaurants, cafés, and shops within an airport or train station may open. Prior to 2003, alcohol licences in several prefectures prevented sale of alcohol on these days.
==Statutory public holidays==
Statutory public holidays, also known as national public holidays, are legislated by several Acts of Parliament, and are observed in every prefecture on the same dates.
Republic Day, Armistice Day and Independence Day are always commemorated on the exact date, as they remember specific historical events. The statutory holidays, however, are always Mondayised.
